CPMR 26 Mile Encampment Traditional Cache
RodnBev: It appears this one has gone missing, and since I am really not doing any caching these days I have decided to archive it rather than try to replace it.

This cache is close to a marker that indicates it is near the location of the 26 mile encampment on the Crown Point Military Road. The cache is a pill bottle containing only a log, so bring your own pen.
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.
