The region was visited by the explorers Robert de La Salle and René de Bréhant de Galinée in order to observe a burning spring known to the area's indigenous members of the Seneca tribe. Such "burning springs" occur in places where the water appears to support a flame caused by escaping natural gas.
You will need to know the year of LsSalle's visit to calculate the actual cache location (a short drive away)
