Bluegrass Reviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While
we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block
other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable
amount of time, we can't do so forever. Therefore we are archiving this
cache so that someone else can place a cache in the area and geocachers
can once again enjoy visiting this location. If you haven't done so
already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please
e-mail me in response to this archival, and I will unarchive your cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to
geocaching in the past and look forward to seeing your caches up and
running in the future.

Geocache Description:


Pulaski County Kentucky folk lore maintains that the county contains within its borders the shortest and the longest creeks in the world. As the lore goes - in order to be considered a river - a stream must be 100 miles in length. I do not believe this is the scientific definition - but it sounds good to me. One stream in Pulaski County is Buck Creek which is 99 miles in length. It is supposedly the longest creek in the world.

Also located within Pulaski County is the shortest creek in the world - Short Creek. It has a total surface length of less than 100 yards. It is formed by a large spring boiling up out of a cave which then it flows less than 100 yards before it plunges into a second cave.

My GPS was not reading very strong so use the hint

This is private property but the owner has kept it open it up to the general public for many year. However - he does prohibit repelling and camping on the property. He also does not allow campfires -
