Geocache Description:

Congrats to Lilsmiths for FTF

Small bottletop sized magnetic cache containing only a log. Moogles are common, but shouldn't be a problem. There's space to pull over almost within reach. Don't rehide so well that nano gets out of reach. It should be safe within easy reach.

That nano is located where Bayou Cartableau passes thru a set of floodgates into the State Canal which locals call the Grimmet Canal. The canal runs a few miles before becoming almost unpassable by everything except canoes and such. It does continue south and flows into the Hinderson basin. Its prime, hunting, fishing and crawfishing thru there. The floodgates are generally closed forcing water to be diverted a few miles north in Port Barre, then down Bayou Teche and thru a couple of canals into Bayou Vermilion. Some of the water passes over a pair of wiers a short distance away down the road to the West and thru a culvert visible to the West, and then flows down Bayou Portage to Henderson. The Floodgates are opened in times of heavy rains to help prevent flooding along the Teche and the Vermillion Bayou's.

This cache satisfies St. Landry Parish and grid 44 of the Delorme.
