Geocache Description:

This gore is particularly interesting in that it has a hill on it and the creek coming out of the hill is something you do not often see.

"A gore, gore point, or gore zone is the (chiefly American English) name for a triangular piece of land found where roads merge or split. When two roads merge, the area is sometimes referred to as a merge nose. The term "gore" probably originates from the dressmaker's term for a triangular piece of cloth." (Wikipedia)

This gore is particularly interesting in that it has a hill on it and the creek coming out of the top of a hill is something you do not often see. Look for minnows and maybe even a giant bullfrog tadpole.

"An inverted siphon is not a siphon but a term applied to pipes that must dip below an obstruction to form a "U" shaped flow path. At no point does the siphon effect come into play; an inverted siphon will work fine in the absence of atmospheric pressure. Liquid flowing in one end simply forces liquid up and out the other end. Engineers must ensure that the flow rate in such a channel is fast enough to keep suspended solids from settling. Otherwise, the inverted siphon tends to act as a debris trap. This is especially important in sewage systems or culverts which must be routed under rivers or other deep obstructions where the better term is "depressed sewer". (Wikipedia)

In this case the underpass of Hunt Club Road is the "deep obstruction" and the creek drains the forested areas to the south.

The cache is hidden on the east side of the concrete outlet in what used to be a ground hog hole. Access is best by bike or on foot, be careful of speeding cars if you need to cross roads. Parking is problematic.
