Certain basic features, such as river channels, cut-banks, and point bars, are typically found in most river and streams and can be observed first-hand in the stream behind the Bob Campbell Geology Museum. Once you examine the study site, you should be able to describe how such features form and predict long-term environmental consequences of continued stream activity. You will need to create a Geocaching.com account to log your visit. You can do this here. Locate "If a Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood" on Geocaching.com (GCX code: GC24ZVQ) and navigate your way to the geocache. To get to the cache, you will need to walk, take the bus, or drive to the parking lot by the Bob Campbell Geology Museum, located in the South Carolina Botanical Gardens. Park facing the woods and look for a gate to walk through. You will need to walk down the steps, cross the creek, and go up the opposite bank to get to this geocache. Do not attempt to walk to the cache via the creek bed; fallen trees will block your way.
