This cache is a continuation of the series of caches delineating the route of the Helena Valley Irrigation District canal as it flows through the valley.
Don't get complacent, folks! This series has a number of other locations in which to place caches. I just can't eat Altoids fast enough.
The Helena Valley Irrigation District was formed in part to provide mitigation for the irrigated land that was inundated when Canyon Ferry Reservoir was built. Currently, 18,000 acres are irrigated through this project. The project was multi-purpose, and included building capacity for municiple water for the city of Helena. The Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir, which feeds the canal that runs clockwise around the valley, also provides a significant amount of recreation and wildlife habitat. Salmon are a favored target of fisherman, especially through the ice, and when snagging is legal in the fall. For more information on the project, see the following link: (visit link)
This cache is placed near the 14th road crossing after the canal leaves the regulating reservoir. I had to skip another road crossing because of an existing cache. Please visit GC28T5B, K 9 Kondo, for the 13th road crossing.
The cache is a tiny micro plastic sample tube almost nano-sized, so you will need to bring your own writing implement. Please watch kids near the water. Swimming is NOT allowed, falling in is strongly discouraged. Enjoy!
