Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a series we are working on that are located near the markers for the Crown Point Military Road. The cache is a small lock & lock container with a log and a few small items. It started with a pen, but you might want to bring your own just in case.

The Crown Point Military Road was built in 1759 by order of General Jeffrey Amherst during the French and Indian War. It roughly follows the path of a major Native American travel route from Lake Champlain to the Connecticut River, known as the Indian Path. It essentially follows the watersheds of the Black River east of the height of land in Plymouth/Shrewsbury/Mt Holly to the east; and the Mill River and Otter Creek to the west. Starting in the early 20th Century, historical groups (mainly the Daughters of the American Republic) began to mark the Road with a series of 70 or so mostly granite markers. We plan to place caches close to as many of these markers as we can, but some are on private property and others may be in an area not suitable for a cache for other reasons.
