Geocache Description:

This is the second in the "Where In The World" cache series. These cache locations are little known/ remembered historic locations throughout Clark County. Thanks to Harry Enoch for the information on this location.


In 1778 Chief Black Fish led an army of 400 Shawnee, Cherokee and Wyandot warriors, along with 40 Frenchmen and Canadians, down the Lower Howard’s Creek towards Fort Boonesborough. On Sunday, September 6, they stopped for the night at a place afterwards called “the Indian Camp.” The next day the army continued downstream to the mouth of the creek, where they crossed the Kentucky River at Black Fish Ford, and then proceeded to invest the fort in what became known as “ the great siege of Boonesborough” ( September 7-18 1778). The Indian Camp was just down stream from the cache location in the flat area around Lettie Lane, Waterworks Rd and Lower Howards Creek.

The cache container is a 35 mm film container. Parking is close to the cache location.
