When looking at a geocache map we realized that no fewer than 20 caches are dedicated to the Mary Jane Thurston Park North Turkeyfoot Creek in northern Henry County. On the south side of the river, there is a creek that empties into the Maumee that is directly across the river from where the North Branch exits. This creek simply goes by the name Turkeyfoot Creek. On the map the only places that the (southern) Turkeyfoot can claim caches is at the beginning, (the reservoir area in Hamler where the B&O Railroad cross the Turkeyfoot), and the end (where the Turkeyfoot dumps into the Maumee). We have decided to fill in the area with a series of several caches between the beginning and the end so you can get a little better idea how the story flows.
While it may seem unusual to see a DT&I caboose on the Nickel Plate Road right-of-way, the depot in Malinta, Ohio serviced both the NKP and the DT&I. The remains of a large switchyard can still be seen on the north edge of town. The Nickel Plate Road ran toward the WSW and crossed the Turkeyfoot Creek about 1000 feet down the line.
