Geocache Description:

This cache is on the west side of the stream. Adding to the McLeods Serie of Geo-caches. Please pick up one piece of garbage each and make a difference. All caches are winter friendly unless otherwise mentioned. Lets get out there and enjoy the environment. When posting look around and tell me what you see, what did you notice that you would of otherwise missed if you didnt take a moment to relax and look around.


Observation point- take a moment to look around and appreciate what you see around you. Stand at the storm outfall to the creek and look around. What do you see? The storm manhole cover that directs water from the streets to the creek? Think about that when you wash your cars in the driveway, all that soap and dirt is going to the stream. Look downstream, do you see all the woody debris on the banks? This area receives high flows during wet conditions due to all the hard surface runoff from streets and homes as the water can't absorp into the ground through the hard surfaces (roads). Did you see the NO DUMPING sign on the way in? did you notice that people dump garbage over the bank anyway?  Look at the fallen tree with roots pulled right out, that is called a "windfall" and these trees will provide more habitat for species then they did when they were standing.
