Chickahominy


A tribe of the Powhatan Confederacy, they formerly lived on Chickahominy River in Virginia. It was one of the most important tribes in the state, numbering 250 warriors, and probably about 900 people total. In 1613 they entered into an alliance with the English and assumed the name of Tassautessus or "Englishmen." In 1669 they were still estimated at a little over 200 people but, by 1722, they were reported to number only about 80. By the 20th Century there was a mixed-blood band numbering about 200 people still calling themselves Chickahominy. The Chickahominy were recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1983, but continue to seek Federal recognition. Today, the tribe of approximately 840 people most of whom primarily live in Charles City County, Virginia near their tribal center.

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. TFTC!

Found it! Was relocating family in the area and figured I would run by. Found the cache but was unable to get the log out to sign. I am going to have to start carrying tweezers with me.

Out on the plains to get a couple of caches. This one was the second one and it was a fast find.
