On top of the glacial material in a regular sized green ammo box.
Unfortunately this cache has been removed by someone. I checked it over the memorial day holiday and it is not where I placed it. I will attempt to place another cache in the area nearby as soon as I can, so stay tuned.
Indside Ft. Benjamin Harrsion State Park. May have to pay a $4 admission charge, but the park is well worth it. You will see a small mass wasting feature (a landslide scar) exposing a large amount of glacially deposited (Pleistocene) material along a small stream (hence the name of the cache-no glaciers in the Holocene in Indiana). The scar is roughly 54 ft tall, just off a small parking lot (only spot to park) along the road to the nature center. Sorry, but you have to recognize the cool geology while you're there! Several distinctive types of glacially derived sediments are present in the exposure of the bluff. Glacial Till (Diamicton), Glacial Outwash, Glacial Lacustrine (lake), more Till, and Loess.
GPS coordinates might be difficult to get because of trees, but get close and you should be able to find it!
Must cross a small stream and climb a steep slope.
