Geocache Description:

A small container painted camo. You may have to walk a little bit from where you would park your vehicle.

Congrats to irish.redneck for the FTF.

This series is dedicated to the seven colors of the rainbow. This cache is named Red.

A rainbow is composed of the entire spectrum of colors of visible light, from the longest wavelength, red, to the shortest wavelength, violet. Red is at the top edge of the rainbow and violet is at the bottom edge, with the other colors in between.

Rainbows are created both by reflection and refraction (bending) of sunlight in raindrops. As sunlight enters a raindrop, it bends and it is separated into its constituent colors (the colors that comprise white light. Some of the light is reflected off the back of the raindrop at a slightly different angle, thus each color emerges from the front of the raindrop at a slightly different angle.

Only one color exits from each raindrop at the exact angle necessary to reach the observer's eye. An observer sees only one color at a time reflecting from each raindrop. For this reason, it takes millions of raindrops to create a rainbow.

There are no picnic tables but perhaps you can sit on the small grassy area and enjoy the view of the water or that of the Crittenden Bridge, also known as the Chuckatuck Creek Bridge.
