Geocache Description:

This is part # 1 of 24 trail stops. To get the full enjoyment of this series, we whole heartedly suggest starting at #1 and following the well marked auto trail.

There is a 2 cd set available that compliments this trip with narration, eye-witness accounts and sound effects available at http://www.hhhills.org/jhmht/.

We have a copy disguised as a travel bug # TBEF42. This bug's idea of a good time is to make the complete trek as many times as possible ending up back home at the InKy Geo Social held each third tuesday of the month.

As Historic Hoosier Hills people say, "Before starting this unique experience, be aware that much of the 185 mile heritage trail passes over narrow, low speed road. Many of the back roads are gravel and vision will be limited at times. There are only a few places to eat, use rest rooms, or buy gas on this trail."

We found road construction caused a couple of interesting detours to get back on the trail. Also somewhere along the trail is a creek bed to cross. They say it is sometimes dry. We found it to have about 2 feet of water. Any more than that and I would have seriously considered another self imposed detour. I would rate this particular crossing at the time we went through as "Jeep". Use your best judgment.

July 7,1863

General,

Local intelligence has observed Morgan's Raiders gathering on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River in Brandenburg. We fear they will make their crossing into Indiana soon. More Information is available at these coordinates.
