Cayuga

A tribe of the Iroquoian confederation, they formerly occupied the shores of Cayuga Lane, New York. Its local council was composed of four clan kinship groups, which became the pattern of the Iroquoian Confederation. In 1660 they were estimated to number 1,500 and in 1778, 1,100. At the beginning of the American Revolution a large part of the tribe removed to Canada and never returned, while the rest were scattered among the other tribes of the confederacy. Soon after the Revolution these latter sold their lands in New York, some going to Ohio, where they joined other Iroquois and became known as the Seneca of the Sandusky. These were later moved to Indian Territory.



Today, there are three Cayuga bands. The two largest, the Lower Cayuga and Upper Cayuga, live in Ontario, Canada both at Six Nations of the Grand River. Only a small number remain in the United States—the Cayuga Nation of New York in Versailles. The combined Cayuga-Seneca Nation lives in Oklahoma.

Today I had an extraordinary idea. After work I headed up north to grab as many caches as possible. My goal was 50 and I ended up with 80. Pretty good, but it took all evening. I didn't return home until 11:55 pm and worked the next day at 7:00 am. Oh well, life of a geocacher. During my travels I saw a few hawks or eagles (too far away for me to identify), prairie dogs, many song birds, two pronghorns, a raccoon, and a special treat. I'm pretty sure I saw a badger. It had a similar shape to a raccoon, but looked like a blonde skunk. It had a white stripe between it's eyes instead of a black stripe like a raccoon. I also saw my first of the season rattlesnake. It was crossing the road. It wasn't bothered by me and I didn't bother it. The day began northeast of Barr Lake and ended up all the way down in Deer Trail. My FJ is racking up a lot of miles in the name of geocaching.
Searched high and low for this lonely cache. I found a likely geobeacon, but no container. I dropped a replacement container that I picked up at another cache (where there were 2). TFTC!

I am visiting my daughter again here in this great state, and I just had to go on a power run once more. Thank you to all of the CO's that placed these caches out here. I certainly love visiting these remote areas as one can only wonder the stories of these places from long ago. I found this one in good shape. TFTC

I decided to do another run at some eastern plains caching today and managed to find 71. It was a beautiful, quiet and dusty, day for caching. I made the find here at 10:30 am. Thanks for the cache!

Nothing better to clear the mind after a week of work than geocaching.
This power trail did the job.
Thanks for hiding.
