Geocache Description:

Mushroom Rock is located on the Cumberland Trail in the Cumberland Trail State Park. Be prepared for a short hike to the right spot.

Mushroom Rock was formed by erosion over a period of years.

Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of ocean currents, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms (in the case of bioerosion).

Erosion is distinguished from weathering, which is the decomposition of rock and particles through processes where no movement is involved, although the two processes may be concurrent.

To log this cache, post a picture of you holding your GPS with Mushroom Rock in the background and email me the answers to the following questions...


1)How tall is Mushroom Rock?
2)How wide is the cap feature of Mushroom Rock?
3)Which form of Erosion formed Mushroom Rock (ie Water, Wind, Ice)?

Any logs without the required picture posted and without the answers emailed to me will be deleted without warning or any explanation.
