Geocache Description:

This is a beautiful geocache location with a fun challenge.

I like things that are happy. This is a happy place despite some recent local disasters.

The structure you are standing on is still in good shape despite a nearby massive rockfall and windblast in the Happy Isles area that damaged the nearby Happy Isles Gauging Station Bridge in July 1996. Then a major flood in January 1997 caused extensive damage to human-made structures along the main stem of the Merced River, including that same Happy Isles Gauging Station Bridge. That bridge was removed for safety reasons and the Gauging Station will be relocated in the future.

Huge rocks were embedded in the trunks of hundreds-year-old trees, as if the trees were mere clay. Giant trunk carcasses were strewn about as if they were straw.

But this structure you are standing on survived it all unscathed.

Enjoy the view and enjoy the cache hunt.

1. Who loved Joey in July of 2003.
2. During the flood of 1997, on what date was the high water marked.
