(visited by Matty Ross)

12-Nov-2005 -- When I very first started Geocaching I became aware of the confluence project and set my sights on this one. It has taken me over 3 years to make it out here even though it was only a few miles from my home. It always looked like it would be a nasty one. Well it was everything I expected. About a third of a mile of nice road or trail. A mile of tall grass with about an inch of water, and a mile of MUD with an inch of water over it. I think I took a little better path than Jean and Chris did but not a lot better. I guess I wasn't in the best mood for this kind of hike. When I got to the conflunce location all I found was a hole in the mud. When the water came up I guess the Geocache floated away. I took some pics and a video, then signed a piece of paper, stuffed it into a film can, dropped it in the hole in the mud, then started the 2.6 mile hike back to the van.

Thanks for a memorable Geocache and perhaps my only Confluence. Next time I think I'll climb a mountain.

See you on the trail.

  Notes
On the salt marshes of the Great Salt Lake's Farmington Bay. The terrain may be temporarily flooded.

On my map, the roads to the west of Kaysville are a little confusing. The basic landmark destination is the intersection of E 750 St S and Holmes Creek. The confluence is 1.78 miles (9384 feet) southwest (approximately) of this point. The actual heading is 227 degrees (true bearing).

Going south on SR 243/South Main St. in the center of Kaysville, bear right onto S 50 W (one block south of Center Street). Go 1.42 miles south until you come to Burton Lane (with I-15 directly to your right). Turn right onto S Burton Lane. Cross over or under I-15 and then a set of railroad tracks. Go 0.22 miles and cross another set of railroad tracks. Go 0.4 miles to the intersection with Sunset Drive. Turn left and go 0.3 miles; bear right onto an unnamed road! Go 1.14 miles on this road and intersect with E 750 St. S. Last road. Turn right and go 2.15 miles to Holmes Creek, your landmark destination as mentioned above.
