Geocache Description:

First-To-Find is Mitee Mic!

This is cache #9 in this series of 10 caches along the Wabash River. This is the second-to-last on the list so expect a difficult one. Starting at #1 and heading downstream is recommended.

Parking is readily available on all stages along this remote stone-covered county road. CITO is appreciated and DNF logs are greatly welcomed. Coords, 'difficulty', and 'terrain' ratings are all dead-on and no nanos because that's just how I fly.

All caches should be above flood stage but you may experience the seasonal challenges such as briars, flooding, mosquitoes, snow and ice.

OTHER STUFF: BYOP and a log extraction tool on this series of 10 different caches within one mile. This is a very historic area of Wells County. The first white settler lived here and that history is recorded on a nearby monument. These rapids made it possible to operate a grist mill on the river at this point. Some of these trees saw all that activity 160 years ago and if you listen closely, they will talk to you. The name "Wabash" is an English spelling of the French name for the river, "Ouabache." French traders named the river after the Miami Indian word for the river, "white water", or "water over white stones". You can see that white water on the rapids along this cache series.
