Geocache Description:


Part of Southern Indiana is classified by geologist as a karst region. Karst regions are characterized by caves, sinkholes, sinking rivers and underground drainage systems. A unique example of this is Lost River, which starts in western Washington County, crosses Orange County and into Martin County where it joins the White River. The underlying
limestone is easily dissolved by acidic water allowing the surface drainage to go underground. About 1/4 of the 85 miles of Lost River is underground and unseen. I have picked several notable stops to place caches. I hope you will enjoy a very unique, but overlooked area of southern Indiana.

This stop is near the beginning of the surface part of Lost River.

Cache is just a log. Bring your own pencil.
