Geocache Description:


This cache has been placed to double the fun of those who shall visit this location as part of the Black History Stories of the Kingston Peninsula Adventure Lab.  It is a quick Park & Grab.  

 

The history as we understand it:

There were unusually cold weather conditions in  the summer of 1816.  This  led those who were superstitious (of whom there were many)  to  believe  that some of the women who lived in the area who behaved oddly ( in their opinion)  were witches, and they were responsible  for the bad weather. The surname of some of these women was Kimble and the Kimbles lived in this area.  Some of the women under suspicion of being witches would have been Black.
