Geocache Description:

On Peters Run road. Plenty of off road parking.BYOP

Back in the early days of settlement, there was a Christian American Indian named Peter. He hunted, and trapped, and traded with the the settlers. He was well liked. Once or twice a year, he headed up what is now Peters Run Road,with a couple of borrowed mules. People would say "The goes Peter on his run". What he was going after was a very needed item in the frontier at that time...SALT!! After a few weeks he would return with the mules loaded down with salt. He was welcomed with open arms for this was a much needed commodity. This was how he made a nice living, and bothered no one. Don't forget that in these times most Indians were hostile to white men. People liked him. and needed Peter's salt supply.
One day Peter went on one of his runs and never returned. Two of the local bully boys robbed and murdered him for his salt. The settlement people hung them when they found out what happen. For a number of years people tried to find out where Peter got his salt. They never found out.
New history buffs believe he traded with the Onondags Indians for the salt. Syracuse, NY is how far he had to go to get his salt. In those days Syracuse was know as "Salt City" for its rich salt wells. But, that is another story.
