Potter’s Point points us to a time long ago. It has features that you can observe that date back to the last ice age. The land is full of kettle holes and depressions that were created by receding glaciers and centuries of whirling motion of the river water. As time past this area became an important area for Native Americans who used the river as a means of travel and a source of food. These kettle holes became an important resource for the Native Americans as a place to store food stocks during the hot summer months. The Native Americans were very resourceful and used everything that the earth gave them that could to make their life better. Take some time to think about these kettle holes and the history of the people of this land. Your cache will be near an old foundation, which harks to more recent history in the area. This place was also used as a fishing camp in days gone by.
The items in the cache that relate to the park are souvenirs that do not need to be replaced with a trade item.
