This location is a good, solid bridge that allows a summer road to pass over Eagle Creek. The road degrades badly in wet conditions such as spring thaw and rainy weather, and dry-weather road condtions vary depending on traffic experienced during these wet spells. At the time this cache was placed, in early May of 2017, the road was not easily passable to the south, but was fine from the north.
This is part of series of caches that follows Eagle Creek as it meanders its way through the 80 km radius area imposed by SCAR X rules. This series encourages a tour of the many Eagle Creek crossings with many wildlife, ecosystem, and geography observation opportunities.
Eagle Creek is an important and water conduit that meanders its way from the Killsquaw Lakes near the Town of Unity, southeast to near Rosetown, northeast to near Tessier, then northward through the Eagle Creek Regional Park, continuing northward to empty into the South Saskatchewan River. The Eagle Creek Watershed is monitored and protected by the Eagle Creek Watershed Group, formed by farm operations, rural municipalities, and the Ministry of Agriculture.
This cache is placed for the SCAR X event. Please do not search for, or post a log for, this cache until after 5:30pm on May 26th, 2017.
