inkeys: Checked on this cache earlier this week and found that it is indeed MIA. I've moved from the area and the sign that explained the story behind the cache was stolen, so I've decided to archive it.

Geocache Description:

You're looking for a micro-sized cache hidden along what was at one time known as "Cow Bell Road".

The first surveyed road through Wildcat Township in Tipton County was surveyed in 1849.  The road traversed the township in a southwesterly direction towards Tipton.  Once the proposal for the road had been approved, three local residents, John Smith, John Nutter and A. Forbes, helped the scientific surveyor lay out the route for the road to follow.  Things progressed well until they reached a thickly wooded area, which put the surveying party at a standstill.  Nutter took the situation in hand and armed with a cow bell, preceded the party, ringing the bell whenever he wanted a stake set.  The surveyor followed with his instrument and the route was successfully laid out.  As a result, the nickname "Cow Bell Road", became attached to the road.
There used to be a sign that told this story, but unfortunately it has apparently been stolen :(
The container is a small pill bottle so BYOP
