Geocache Description:


Cache has been moved to a 3rd location. Hopefully it's in a safe spot now!

Cache has been moved from the original location due to wildlife concerns (a.k.a. the "Duck" Lady).

This is my 1st cache hide. It is a small cache off of Atwells Ave in Providence, located under a bridge in Eagle Square.

The river that runs through here is the Woonasquatucket River (pronounced woon-AHS-kwa-tuk-it, Algonquian for "where the salt water ends")

This river was an important transportation route for native peoples, especially for connecting various tribes of the Algonquian nation to what is now the Providence River and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The area now known as Federal Hill in Providence was an important meeting place along the river for bands of the Narragansett and Wampanoag tribes. Known as Nocabulabet (pronounced "nok-a-BUL-a-bet"; thought to be an early settlers version of an Algonquian phrase meaning "hill above the river" or "place between the ancient waters"), this was a place where tribes gathered for trading and harvest festivals. Some believe it was also used as a vantage point to watch for marauding tribes approaching from Narragansett Bay.

Congrats to Anonymike7 for the FTF!
