Kickapoo

Before contact with Europeans, the Kickapoo lived in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan in the area between Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. By common tradition, the Kickapoo and Shawnee believe they were once a single tribe but separated after an argument over a bear's paw. When the white man pushed west, the Kickapoo migrated, first to Wisconsin, then Illinois. By treaty, they were relocated to southern Missouri, but less than have stayed, wondering south and west. Fiercely independent, many Kickapoo people fled all the way to Mexico rather than surrender to the Americans. Of those that went to Mexico, approximately half returned to the United States and were sent to Indian Territory in Oklahoma. Currently, there are three federally-recognized Kickapoo tribes: the Kickapoo of Kansas; the Kickapoo of Oklahoma; and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas.

The more I cache with peace love pi the more I realize she seriously can't resist challenges. Seriously. And of course... I get sucked in, too. Sucked in to the point where I make lists of all the caches with March birthdays within a 10 mile radius of my house. I was pretty excited this one was closer than a lot of the ones on my list. And when I pulled up the cache after work, I saw it was found earlier today. I knew exactly who it was, I didn't even have to look. Sure enough, I get to GZ and her stamp is the last one on the log. Thanks for the birthday cache! Find #3228.

Stopping by to say happy birthday to this cache. It's nice to be out caching again after a week of sub-freezing temperatures. TFTC! All is well with this cache.

This was our lone DNF of the day. Didn't spend long looking, so we might have just missed it, but the area is a little torn up.
