Geocache Description:

The gateway to the Suisun Marsh


Because of my coworker, MaddyMoo, a few of us in the office are now regular Geocachers.  This is my first time hiding a cache, and the contents of this cache was a cumulative effort from the people at work.  The first to find will have a hard time picking what to swap out!  Also, on the cache container you'll find an NFC tag.  If you have an NFC enabled smartphone, tap your phone against it to be treated to a comedic YouTube video.

At the entrance to the Suisun Marsh is a suburb called Lawler Ranch. Development for these houses began in 1988. Behind these track homes you'll find the marchland. Located in northern California the Suisun Marsh (/səˈsuːn/ soo-soon) is the largest brackish marsh on west coast of the United States of America. The marsh land is part of the San Francisco Bay tidal estuary, and subject to tidal ebb and flood. The marsh is home to many species of birds and other wildlife, and is formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers between Martinez and Fairfield, California and several other smaller, local watersheds. Adjacent to Suisun Bay, the marsh is immediately west of the legally defined Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as well as part of the San Francisco Bay estuary.

To find this cache you will not need to climb any surrounding structures.
