Braddock's Trail and 4th Camp Traditional Cache

On the 10th of June, 1755 British and American forces left Fort Cumberland, heading west.
On the 16th they arrived at Little Meadows, where Sir John St. Clair had made a temporary camp. General Braddock, the overall British commander, was unaccustomed to frontier warfare and so asked Washington for advice, who made preparations to march on Fort Duquesne.
While in camp the famous Captain Jack and his forest rangers, men who dressed in leather and cloth and operated as Indians offered their services to Braddock for intelligence and harassing enemy Indians. Braddock detested unconventional warfare and rebuffed their offer.
On the 19th of June, Washington and 1,200 troops moved out, accompanied by their Indian allies, towards Fort Duquesne.
General Braddock could not abandon the tactics of Europe, making slow progress on their march, only 12 miles in 4 days.

Little Meadows was General Braddock's 4th camp on the march to Fort Duquesne June 17, 1755.

Located along The National Road you’ll find the “Little Meadows ” road sign and this Micro Cache. Parking is provided along the shoulder but Caution must be used with passing traffic.

History is Great but this sign is close to the roadway and cachers with kids need to use Caution and know there whereabouts at ALL times.

Only a Log Sheet and Stash note so BYOP
