Geocache Description:

A simple Earth Cache, just meant to get you outdoors to enjoy a great hike.  A very similair cache to "A Groovy Kind of Place" GC41QPF

Should be a very easy cache to get, but the fun for this one is in the hike to get here and enjoying the views the Earth has to offer.


Glacial Grooves are straight parallel grooves found on the exposed surface of bedrock. These grooves were formed by the coarse gravel and boulders being dragged along underneath the retreating glacier. This resulted in a scrapping or gouging of the surface of the bedrock, thus creating the glacial grooves. It is believed that these glacial grooves indicate the direction of flow of the retreating glacial ice. Glacial grooves are found in many parts of the world. They can vary in size, from a few inches deep to a few feet in depth. 

To claim this cache just answer a few very simple questions.

1.  What is the depth of the glacial groove at the posted coordinates?

2.  What direction does it follow?

3.  Nearby there is another type of rock that runs paralell to the Grove, what type of rock is in this vein?

4.  Post a picture with your GPS at the nearby trail post with a large man made landmark in the background.(Optional under new rules)

 

Please Email me the answers, do not post them in your log.  Any answers posted will be deleted, along with the log entry.
