Geocache Description:

On our very first day of geocaching, we found a cache near here called Jonathan's Nest.

When we first heard of PowerCaching trails, we thought of PowerLine parks like this. Boy were we surprised when we visited such powercaching areas like Thousand Oaks and Palm Springs. This is in a park in Fountain Valley that made us think of power caching. (Just look up.)

Since 1975, Orange County Water District has operated a seawater barrier (underground water dam) to keep the ocean water from mixing with and contaminating underground water supplies. A mixture of wastewater purified at Water Factory 21 in Fountain Valley and deep well water is pumped to the wells and injected into the ground. This injected water creates an underground dam, blocking seawater from entering the groundwater basin. The City of Fountain Valley uses groundwater for 75% of its water needs. Groundwater costs about one-third the price of imported surface water, so this groundwater must continue to be protected from seawater intrusion.
