What is a continental divide? Most people, when they hear the term, think of the line down the Rockies, which separates the watershed drainage of the Atlantic from the Pacific (watershed: the area of land that catches all precipitation and drains or seeps into a river system or other body of water, such as an ocean or groundwater). However, there are generally considered to be 4 great divides in North America, which separate the 5 major watersheds. The entire state of Michigan falls into the St. Lawrence Seaway drainage area. Within those major watersheds, there are lesser watershed divides, sometimes called "sub-continental" divides. To receive credit for this cache, you need to email me the information of what this divide separates. This information can be gotten at the posted coordinates. Also, take an elevation reading at the posted coordinates, and then drive about 1/2 mile down the road in either direction of the coordinates, and take another elevation reading. Include these three readings in your email. Pictures or other spoiler information will cause your log to be deleted.
