Come see the Millidgeville shore line
The earth cache is of the erosion of the shore line.The coords will take you to a rock beach.To the lift you can see the rock ledge slowly wearing away from erosion of the tide coming in and out.......From this you can realy see how powerful the tides are..... The shoreline, where water meets land, is where your waterfront property is most susceptible to erosive forces. Erosion is a natural process that causes a gradual wearing away of land surfaces by water, ice and wind. Erosion can cause slumping, surface runoff, silt deposits, and if left unchecked, major property and building damage. Protect your shoreline by understanding the value of the “buffer zone”. Alterations to your natural shoreline i.e. removal of rocks, trees, and other live and fallen vegetation, puts your buffer area at risk of becoming an “erosion zone”. Being aware of erosion risks and taking appropriate action will better arm you to safeguard your property, and protect your pocketbook. Be sure to leave driftwood, rocks and fallen trees in place along the shoreline to absorb the wave energy. You can consider adding these sorts of materials along the waterfront and using them to mulch amongst your shrubs with rocks, driftwood, or branches. Securing a log to the shoreline or anchoring it slightly offshore will also help to break the force of the waves. To log the cache....(1)You will have to take a picture of you and or your hand with your GPS..In front of the rock ledge..and upload it with your log (2)Look at the rock ledge and email me the type of rock ledge it is...please do not put the answer in your log. And enjoy the earth cache and view or the area.....
