This is the second stage of a 3-stage multi-cache. The coordinates provided here are the coordinates for the historical marker located where you should park. To get the coordinates for the cache itself, you must first find the “May Hill Social Club” cache.
Although I love searching for multi-caches, I do not like the fact that you can only log one cache find for a multi-cache after finding the last stage. I have spent hours looking for intermediate stages of some multi-caches, and although I may have found as many as 4 or 5 other caches to get to the final one, I can log only one find for my efforts. This multi-cache changes all that! Each stage has a log for the finder to sign, in addition to the coordinates for the next stage. Therefore, if one does not wish to continue to search for the remaining stages, then one can at least log a find for the stage they have found.
This cache is named after the first protestant mission to the Indians west of Russellville, AR. Rev. Cephas Washburn established the mission here in 1820 for the western Cherokee Indians, near one of the Trail of Tears routes. The mission was named the Timothy Dwight Mission, after the man who was President of Yale University at the time. The mission was later moved to Indian Territory (Oklahoma).
The cache container is a small, black preform (aka "baby soda bottle) with a log and the coordinates for stage 3, the “Ouita” cache. Please bring your own writing instrument. When you find this cache please take note how it is hidden and replace it back as you found it so those following you may experience the same challenge.
If you have any recommendations or suggestions to improve this cache please send an email.
