Geocache Description:


As we were planning a Meridian run, we noticed something very alarming. Along HWY 80 bewtween Hickory and Lost Gap in the wonderful town of Chunky, there are NO Caches to be found! So Mrs. McNair loving Ben and Jerry's the way she does yells out "Chunky Monkey!" In our infiniate wisdom, we happened to have a micro container in the glove box, and so the cache idea was born. We stumbled on a "craftinduck" road, as we like to call the many beautiful MS backroads, and decided all beautiful things need a little monkey business :-) Keep in mind that even though the idea came from ice-cream and a lovely town name there may be more to the monkey part and the chunky part...Happy Caching !!!

Here is more on the Chunky part. Chunky was formerly a Choctaw Indian village called Chanki Chitto meaning Big Chunky. The name comes from an old Indian game of Chunka which was played at nearby Chunky Shoals. Chunky was the southernmost town of the Choctaws which was visited by Tecumseh in 1811. The Jackson Military Road passed through Chunky in 1816 and the A&V Railroad made a connection on the east side of Chunky in 1861. Chunky was later visited by another Tecumseh in 1864...this time it was William Tecumseh Sherman, who passed north of the present town on his campaign to destroy Meridian.
