Native American Tribes series.


Taposa

A tribe formerly living on Yazoo river, Mississippi of which little beyond the name is known.  Iberville heard of them in 1699, when they were said to be between the Ofogoula and the Chakchiuma on Yazoo river.  Baudry des Lozières mentioned them in 1802, under the name Tapouchas, as settled in village with the Chakchiuma and Ibitoupa on upper Yazoo river, and in fact they were really the most northerly Yazoo tribe.  They appear to have been one of the tribes confederated with the Chickasaw, and according to Le Page du Pratz spoke the same language.  They occupied 25 cabins in 1730.

It's Wednesday. Some people call it hump day, I call it squeeze in a few caches day. For some reason I feel like I haven't cached enough in June. The cure is a power trail so I headed this way after work. I can get so enamored with the mountains I forget how much I like the plains. Completely different birds, the green and gold of the grasses, blue sky, white clouds, and grey skies that luckily stayed a bit further to the south. Found all but one or maybe two caches, what wasn't in good shape I replaced. In most places the grass was short enough to scan for danger noodles (my new term for snakes), and even in the longer grasses I tiptoed in and out as fast as I could. Sorry for the cut and paste logs, and thank you for adding smileys to my day. Find #3699

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Smile Thanks so much for the hide mondou2, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Oh the attraction of a souvenir to a geocacher!! Curse you geo marketing people for doing your job so well. Evidently this great adventure has been going on for weeks, but in true form PayMeCache waits until the 23rd hour to call me up and say “let’s do this”….so we did. We knew we wanted to crank it out, so the plan was to hit an area concentrated with easy finds, unfound by both of us. Well we all know about best laid plans….our first couple of hours had their struggles, but the good news is if we weren’t quickly finding geocaches, we were laughing until it hurt and enjoying the adventures the universe was throwing at us. We eventually got our groove on and cranked out 80 or so finds for the day. My one piece of advice when caching just south of the airport….stop to watch the planes fly over. It was an amazing experience and the best part for me was watching the HUGE plane shadows sailing over the fields and right over our heads. TFTC

The things we do for silly souvenirs...

I took a much needed day off to relax and recharge. I wanted to try and bag as many of these souvenirs (that I will forget by tomorrow). That being said heh324 joined forces and is chauffeuring us around. The heat is exhausting but we are getting through it one by one.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, mondou2 for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!
