Geocache Description:

You are looking for a micro with only a log.

This is #4 of the 4-2-1 on 421 Series. It is on the East side of the road.

This corner has amazed me for a long time. There are 3 historical markers at this street corner. First is an Indiana historical marker for Berry's Trace. In 1808, John Berry cut this trace starting at Napoleon and continuing into Central Indiana. Next is a Ripley County marker about pioneer female inventor, Barbara Fox. She invented and patented a fire escape in 1892 and 1895. The fire escape was successfully tested at the John F. Heimsath Flour Mill, just across the highway. The last is a Ripley County marker for the 6th stop on the Underground Railroad Tour.
