Some things to remember when doing these caches:
- The dirt roads around the area can get muddy, especially after a rain. May not be good for some vehicles. Some roads are single lane, so please be careful if caching in groups.
- This is the Homochitto National Forest, home to many animals, poisonous snakes, mosquito’s, ticks, and chiggers. Please plan accordingly and take precautions.
- Make sure you have plenty of water and snacks.
- Carry out what you take in, do not leave anything behind.
- The roads can be busy during hunting season, so plan accordingly.
- We had good cell phone and satellite coverage; your results may vary.
- All containers are preform with white tops. If you find a different container it’s not the right one. And also remember it is the forest the coordinates might be off some, it depends on type of GPS device your using, i.e., cell phone / handheld.
- Most important of all --> Have fun! <--
The cache is located at N31 26.602 W91 2.0AB
In 1798, the Mississippi Territory was between the AB degree 28 minute parallel and 31 degree parallel.
When the Mississippi Territory was established in 1798, the northern and southern boundaries were the 32 degree 28 minute parallel, just above Vicksburg on the north, and the 31 degree parallel, just below Natchez on the south. The area above Vicksburg up to the state of Tennessee was American Indian territory and most of the area between Natchez and the Mississippi Gulf Coast was Spanish territory known as West Florida. Spain had regained this territory from Great Britain during the American Revolution. The Spanish Flag that flew over West Florida included, from top to bottom, a red bar, a yellow bar, and another red bar. Just off center in the yellow bar was the Spanish coat of arms. Known as the Spanish Bars of Aragon, the flag of Spain flew over the Mississippi Gulf Coast until 1810.
