200!

Just finished emailing the data collected for the EarthCache and I guess that means 200!

As a reminder An EarthCache is a special place that people can visit to learn about a unique geoscience feature or aspect of our Earth. EarthCaches include a set of educational notes and the details about where to find the location (latitude and longitude). Visitors to EarthCaches can see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes, how we manage the resources and how scientists gather evidence to learn about the Earth.

This one was the Vernal pools. Vernal pools are seasonally flooded depressions found on ancient soils with an impermeable layer such as a hardpan, claypan, or volcanic basalt. The impermeable layer allows the pools to retain water much longer then the surrounding uplands; nonetheless, the pools are shallow enough to dry up each season. 

Woo Hoo! 200 down, now on to 300, so I can get on the best Geocachers of Sacramento List.  Yea that's right there is a published list.
