**********LOGGING REQUIREMENTS**********

California has hundreds of creeks thruout its mountains, hills, and valleys. I used to fish many of them when I was a young man. Nowadays I search for geocaches along these waterways. Your job is to find 18 caches, each with a different creek in its name...and each creek starting with a different letter of the alphabet. These finds do not have to be in California. There is no time limit, you may already have found them. When logging this cache, list your requisite caches as shown below. And, feel free in your log to tell us about your favorite creek or stream...
