Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Terminal Moraine, evidenced by the enormous glacial rock deposits in south-west Holmes county.   This spot is close to my child hood home, and the house-sized boulders dropped here and there were always things of wonder.   Notice the formations on both sides of the road in this area for a unique perspective.

The Terminal Moraine is a line where the glacier ends, and the debris the glacier has carried is left when it melts.  Wikipedia defines it as:  A terminal moraine, also called end moraine, is a type of moraine that forms at the terminal of a glacier, marking its maximum advance. At this point, debris that has accumulated by plucking and abrasion, has been pushed by the front edge of the ice, is driven no further and instead is deposited in an unsorted pile of sediment. Because the glacier acts very much like a conveyor belt, the longer it stays in one place, the greater the amount of material that will be deposited. The moraine is left as the marking point of the terminal extent of the ice.

This location is also a few yards from the Killbuck flood plains, swamps, and watershed.  A unique geological wetlands with Killbuck Creek nearby.

You are looking for a medium painted tupperware a few feet from the road.
