Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates. To obtain the correct coordinates you must first play the associated Adventure Lab called "Run, Delaware Run". Then, find the correct coordinates (and tip for parking) on the journal page of the final location. Bring a pen & tweezers. Use stealth!

BUT WAIT: the coordinates listed on this page WILL take you to an interesting location on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University, which relates to the Delaware Run.

At this location back in 2019, the City of Delaware, working with Ohio Wesleyan students, built a Storm Drain Net filtration sytem which stretched across the Delaware Run. The system cost $18,300, was 4-foot high, 18.5-foot wide, weighed over 6.5 tons, and took a crane to set it in place! The project was called "Delaware Run Restoration" and the goal was to monitor and remove debris from the run, before its confluence with the Olentangy River. You can find more about the project and its results here:

2.) http://www.owu.edu/news-media/details/environmental-impact/ 

The OWU student spear-heading the project earned a Litter Prevention award for the Storm Drain Net. Sadly though, the project was in place and monitored for only a few short months and was then removed. It remains undeployed.
