Geocache Description:

A regular geocache in French Joe Canyon. The road into French Joe Canyon is dirt, extremely rock and needs high clearance.


After placing A Rocky Misadventure geocache, driving to the end of the road and visiting Double or Nothing Geocache, we ate our lunch sitting on a natural rock dam. Trusty Companion had to continue with the geology lecture and tells us that at this site (the natural dam) the rock layers forces water up and there is usually above ground flow of water below the dam area. It is one of the few spots in the canyon that has water most of the time. This particular December is quite dry so no water.

We cleaned up our lunch debris, looked around a bit, and then headed up the canyon. We came to a trail split and debated which way to go. Decided to stay with the streambed. Walked on some more until we came to some more interesting rocks lying at our feet. Clouds were coming in; the day was getting chilly, windy and threatening rain so we decided to place our last cache for the day and head back. This cache is also in a tin and should not be quite so hard to find because Sneakiekittie did not hide it, Trusty Companion did this one.
