The Natural State is the nickname for the state of Arkansas. It is a full and wondrous state. Mountains, trees, and rivers are everywhere in the state.
The location of the cache was left exactly where it is. I was trying to tether it to its area when I noticed a rattlesnake in the nearby tree. I decided to abandon my tether, though the container is holding nicely in its location. The FTF should go ahead and finish the tether for me, (I’m sure the snake will be gone by then.) thanks.
This is the third in what I hope to make into a long series of caches along Arkansas Ln. The road is roughly 10 miles long. Our series at the moment covers roughly a mile and a half of it. You will not have to stray far from the street to find any of the caches. Most will be right off of the sidewalk. The end goal will be to not only give you a nice walk and a nice series of caches from one end to the other, but also to teach you a little bit about the actual state of Arkansas. TCDChameleons have relatives buried in many quadrants of the state of Arkansas and this series will be dedicated to them.
This cache is dedicated to Josephine Bellezora Shrader McLain. Josephine was married twice, something that might have been considered somewhat scandalous at the time. Her first marriage was to Charles Walker with whom she had two children. After his death she married Joel McLain. With Joel she had 7 children. It is said Josephine was a very giving spirit. She was born March 5, 1875 in Marshall Arkansas, she died on September 6, 1961 and is buried just outside of Waldron, Arkansas.
