Geocache Description:


***DO NOT go to the posted coords!!! They are FAKE!!!

You must first solve the puzzle in order to obtain the correct coordinates!

This is part of a Geo-Art Series that I will be placing during the year of 2015. By the end of 2015, I will have signed the largest log book ever, Google Maps!

This cache is placed to honor local history in hopes that it doesn't all die off and become forgotten. While researching local history, I learned there use to be a Mingo indian villiage almost directly north of the location of this cache. The Mingo indians named the village Clear Town because it was north of the junction of Clear Creek and Black Fork of the Mohican River. After the Mingo Indian's abandoned the village (approximately 1755), a tribe of Lenape indian's resettled the village in the 1770's. When the Lenape discovered that the German word for "Clear" was Hell, they renamed the town Hell town. Can you guess what the puzzle is yet?
