Geocache Description:


My first cache. A beautiful area. Do not disturb the mound. BYOP

Just west of Salt Creek is a unique, ancient earthwork.  Very little is known about who constructed it or its purpose.

It is in the shape of a plus sign, or cross, has four identical arms each about 12′ wide, 3′ high and 45′ long.  In the middle of the cross is a circular-shaped depression that is 20′ in diameter and about 12″ deep.  That depression may have been deeper at one time but has filled in over time.  The orientation of the arms nearly aligns with the cardinal points of north, south, east, west.  There are small stone mounds near the cross.
