Geocache Description:

This is a relocation and improvement of the "Search high and sLOcum" cache originally placed July 28, 2002. This is a good one for beginners and even a little fun for the more "experienced" cacher and can be done at night. This is alongside a cemetary- our relatives are here- so please be respectful.

We placed this cache because there is such a great history in this area involving Frances Slocum, captured at age 5 by the Delaware Indians. Our children are direct descendents of Frances Slocum and Shepoconah, a Miami Indian Chief. We think you'll enjoy the peacefulness of the area.

An interesting note is that this cemetary and monument were relocated here around 1964 when the Mississinewa dam was being built. The original Deaf Man's Village and family cemetary is now underwater somewhat near the Miami Primitive Campgrounds and the beach parking lot.


The cache is in a camoflauged square shaped, plastic gallon paint container with a screw-on lid. Please be sure to tighten the lid and replace it as-found (or better if need be).

Please sign the log book.
