A nice walk on the Lake City Greenway in Winona Lake
Winona Lake is one of the many kettle hole lakes of the region.
It lies in the center of Kosciusko County, in the mid-northern portion
of Indiana. It has a maximum length of two miles, and averages three-
fourths mile in width. Gently undulating moraines in alternation with
flat peaty, or mucky, areas which represent in large measure extinct
marsh or lake, prevail in the surrounding terrain.
The northern and eastern shores of Winona Lake lie close to gravelly
moraines, and the middle of the western side even more closely. The
southern and northwestern shores are separated from high ground by
more extensive flat areas, which are but little above lake-level, and have
gone through the lake-marsh succession. In the case of this lake the
process of degradation through the erosion of the outlet has been arrested
by a dam. Sugar Creek, Cherry Creek, and Pocahontas creek ,Keefer-Evans Ditch, springs and
artesian wells are the principal sources of the incoming water.
And watch out for the mountain bikes, there are alot of trails to ride.
You must do these things for me to get a find on this Earthcache.
1. post your picture with the well and you in the picture.(please see #4 for reason for pix.)
2. tell me the temp of the water at the well
3.Estimate the flow of water from the well in terms of gallons per minute. To do this you will need a container of known volume and a watch with a second hand.
4. The well has water running sometimes and sometimes it dont.and if you find this Earthcache when the water is not running. just a pix will do. I will find out why it keeps going on and off.
Info needed at time of logging or no find for you!
