Chaplin River View Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Reardon41: Not sure when I could get out to replace this one. Summer is super busy for us. This one has had over a 3 year run, so I'm happy with that. Ill give it the respect it deserves and archive it myself instead of letting a reviewer do it. Thanks to all that have visited.

Geocache Description:

You are looking for a magnetic cache that contains log only. I have friends that live here in Perryville and I have always liked the history of this city. The Chaplin River played a big part in that history so I decided to bring you here with this cache.


Here is a little history of the area: The Chaplin River is a tributary of the Beech Fork of the Salt River, Kentucky. The name comes from Captain Abraham Chapline, an early explorer of the area. The river's headwaters begin on the knob edges of the Cumberland Plateau near Parksville, Kentucky and the Parksville Knob, flow in parallel with the Salt River proper through the hilly Eden Shale belt and ending at the Beech Fork of the Salt River near the town of Chaplin, KY. The river flows through the counties of Washington, Mercer, and Boyle. The river flows through the middle of Perryville, the site of an 1862 American Civil War battle. The stream was a strategic natural resource used by both the Union and Confederate armies, though the river is but a large stream at this point in its journey.
