Geocache Description:

 

 

 

Explorer Zebulon Pike first coined the name the Flint Hills in 1806 when he entered into his journal, "passed very ruff flint hills".



The Flint Hills, historically known as Bluestem Pastures or Blue Stem Hills, are a band of hills in eastern Kansas stretching into north-central Oklahoma, extending from Marshall County, Kansas and Washington County, Kansas in the north to Cowley County, Kansas and Osage County, Oklahoma in the south. Oklahomans generally refer to the same geologic formation as the Osage Hills. The Flint Hills are designated as a distinct ecoregion because it has the most dense coverage of intact tallgrass prairie in North America. Due to its rocky soil, the early settlers of European origin were unable to plow the area, resulting in the predominance of cattle ranches, which are in turn largely benefited by the tallgrass prairie. The Flint Hills Discovery Center opened in Manhattan, Kansas in April 2012. The center is a science and history museum focusing on the Flint Hills. Highest point is Butler County High Point, with an elevation of 1680 feet (512 meters).

The area this cache sits on is just on the fringe of the Flint Hills. You are hunting for a .50 Cal Ammo Box, First To Find will be awarded a trackable that hasn't be registered yet, YEA!!!!. Cache has a bag of S.W.A.G. as always please trade fairly. I plan on filling this cache and my other cache with new trackables and more S.W.A.G. as long as the smiles keep signing. Happy Caching Everyone!
