Geocache Description:

My second cache hide!!! Tremor is yet another cache sponsored by the NIU Geography Club!

Congrats to TEAMSEEKANDWESHALLFIND on the FTF!!!



This cache has a pencil but it is always good to bring your own utensil. Just in case. This one maybe a little tricky but good luck and have fun! Cache on.

A tremor or harmonic tremor describes continuous rhythmic earthquakes that can be detected by seismographs. Harmonic tremors often precede or accompany volcanic eruptions. I don't expect to see any of those here but I do admire people for trying to live along fault lines. (see Pompeii)...nature always wins.

This site home to a USGS Station that measures stream data for the Kishwaukee River. If you care to look at the data here is the link.
