Geocache Description:

Park at end of Tulip Tree Ln, off of Highway 45. Location N39 12.730 W86 21.964 Walk down Tulip Tree Ln. about .46 mile to clearing on left in back of clearing find a foot path (not a log trail) follow to end.Look up and see Gobblers Rock Then look for cache. coordinates of gobblers rock N39 12.203 W86 21.991

Please be advised this this "monument" has fallen down. The cache is still there, but the reason for the cache (gobblers rock) is no more. Apparently some spring storms this year blew down the tree.

The Indy Star ran a article on this and placed the location by coordinates well off of real location. In tribute of this, I placed the cache 25 man sized paces from where the Star placed the "gobblers rock", and drove a stake at the location of the Star placement. Star location N39 12.201 W86 21.951

Don't bushwhack as it is rugged terrain. use the trail as it stays on level terrain.
