Geocache Description:

What are Gabions?

Gabions used with geotextiles are wire mesh boxes, containers or baskets filled with rock to prevent soil erosion and to retain/contain soil particles. Gabions and geotextiles used together reduce water velocities and re-capture river bed sediment in streams. Flat Gabions, called River or Reno Mattresses are widely used in river courses where soil erosion is a problem over a wide flat area and a large area needs to be protected against soil loss/scour. They are used mostly in the civil engineering industry especially in the construction of roads, however recently due to their environmental benefits are being used in many various applications and industries.


This might be a frustration to do this cache as there are so many hidey holes to look for the cache. This is NANO and you will need to bring your own pen to sign the log sheet and a tool to retrieve the log sheet.


Be very careful when retrieving the cache and replace exactly as found.


NO NEED TO TAKE THE PLACE APART OR TO EMPTY WIRE BASKETS.
