Mendon Ponds Glacial Geology
This cache is the first in a series of educational GeoCaches that
have been placed in the Rochester area for Earth Science students
at Dake Junior High and Irondequoit High School. Each cache
contains information about local geology and/or natural history and
a learning activity. ALTHOUGH THESE CACHES ARE PLACED FOR STUDENT
USE, ALL GEOCACHERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN! There are
no items placed in the cache for trade, small trackable items are
welcome.
This cache will acquaint visitors to Mendon Ponds Park with the
remarkable deposits left by the retreating Wisconsinan Ice sheet
that left its mark on the Rochester area at the end of the
Pleistocene Epoch. Inside the cache you will find a brochure that
describes the formation of the spectacular kames, kettles, and
eskers that contribute to the rugged topography of the park. As you
complete the learning activity, you will make connections between
the landscape features you see and some of the essential concepts
you have studied in Earth Science this year. Enjoy your walk down
into the "Devil's Bathtub" and along the "West Esker". This walking
tour is best enjoyed during the fall and spring, when the leaves do
not block your view of the landscape features.
Tread Lightly!

A nice grab. I was on my way out of the park tired from some caching when I realized how close to road this one was so I made the quick stop.

Found the cache before dusk after visiting the birds from the bird song trail. I dropped off the Jeremy22 Travel Bug into its first cache to start up its journey! DNSL. Thanks for the cache!
