Geocache Description:


This is fairly close to the museum that has the Mastadon found while digging out the area for Diamond Valley Lake. Holding center stage inside the visitor’s center are the bones of Max, the largest and most complete adult mastodon to be uncovered in the western United States. Max was unearthed in 1993, as the first stage of construction was under way. Christened "Max" due to his large size, the mastodon is believed to have stood more than 12 feet high at the shoulders. Radiometric dating placed Max and other paleontological finds from the site from the latter part of the Pleistocene Epoch (the Ice Age), from 11,000 years to 60,000 years old, possibly even older.

So many mastodons were found that the area is known as “the valley of the mastodons.” But the area was home to people, too. As you take your eyes away from Max, you will soon notice pictures of the European settlers.

There is tons of stuff popping up around here to do. The water park across the way was packed today. Make sure to check it out before you leave. Up and over the hill is the launch area for the lake. Take a drive and get a great view of the lake. Make sure to attach pics if you take them.

You can only enter the activity area during business hours. Either half hour before or after sunrise and sunset.
