SixDogTeam says:

Welcome to Mount Etna,Huntington County, Indiana, where a geocache has been hidden on Main Street.

Mt. Etna, on the Salamonie River (a feeder stream to the Wabash), just upstream of the Dam, was named for the volcano in Sicily. Despite what the Yahoo! Map shows below, The town lost its bridge over the river when the reservoir was created. As of the census of 2000, there were 110 people, 42 households, and 34 families residing in the town.

Two Cat says:

Our hope is that new Downtown / Main StreetUSA caches will start popping up all over the USA. You too can place one:

1. Find a Downtown and/or Main Street and place your cache.

2. Name the Cache: “Downtown / Main Street USA: (town name, state)”

3. In the cache description include the following paragraph:
“This cache is part of the “Downtown / Main Street USA" series.
Please visit the cache that started it all - Downtown / Main Street USA: Edison, NJ.
Here you will find the latest count of caches in the series and find out how you can add your own."

4. When your cache gets approved, e-mail Two Cat with the waypoint and he will add it to the list of Downtown / Main Street USA caches on that cache page.
