Geocache Description:

Find the not so ancient relic of runoff water management. At an approximate altitude of 700', this location would have been under approximately 550 feet of water during one of the many ice age floods.  The maximum water level as marked on the trail at Badger Mountain is 1250 feet.  Take a look to the north here and imagine the expanse of moving water choked with debris rushing over and around this place during these events.
