How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

This is a two stage multi. Stage one, posted coordinates, contains the coordinates for the final which is within walking distance. Both stages are camoed bison tubes hanging in trees. Please replace on the holders provided.

Retention Ponds:
When a natural area is disturbed or developed, the rate at which stormwater from the site runs off changes. To prevent flooding downstream, the stormwater is delivered to an area that can retain the water and then release it. The release of this water is controlled as to not increase the runoff rate from the original undisturbed site. They also provide an opportunity to improve the water quality by filtering out debris before it reaches the downstream creek, stream, river, or lake. Properly designed retention ponds accomplish these goals. Because these retention areas “take up space” they are designed to fit in any available “wasted” space, thus the pretty geometric shaped ponds seen in this multi.
Hope you enjoy the dumbed down explanation of retention ponds.
