Geocache Description:


This is my 11th cache placed so its time to make it more difficult. I made it from scratch, Get it? Rooster / Scratch.

You are looking for a small cache with just a log sheet, please bring your own pen.

I have permission to hide this cache in its current location by Joe Evans, owner of Rooster Run General Store and Storage.

Enjoy and I welcome your feedback.

Rooster Run is a famous country store halfway between Bardstown and Clermont in Nelson County, Kentucky. It is world famous for its caps, where tourists for decades have bought, thanks to Jack Kerouac.

It got its name from when it was a local hangout for men, who would often have to run away from the bar so their wives wouldn't catch them there. In other words, when the hens came there the roosters made a run.

Although there was historically no actual community by that name, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has legitimized the locale by placing it on official highway maps of the state.

In 2007, Arizona-based rock band The Earps recorded a song called "Rooster Run" that was inspired by this Kentucky landmark.
