Honniasontkeronon (Iroquois; 'people of the place of crook-necked squashes, or 'people if the place where they wear crosses')

An unidentified people of whom Gallinée was informed by the Iroquois as living on Ohio river, above the falls at Louisville, Ky. On a map of De l'Isle, dated 1722, a small lake called Lake Oniasont, around which are the words 'les Oniasontke,' is placed on the south side, apparently of the "Ouabache, otherwise called Ohio or Beautiful river" and the outlet of Lake Oniasont is made to flow into the Ouabache.  It may be inferred that the Iroquois statement as to the location of this people was substantially correct; that is, that they lived on a small lake east of Wabash river and having an outlet into that stream although Hoñniasontke'roñnon is an Iroquois euphemism for the land of departed spirits.

It was my mom's birthday today, and she wanted to go geocaching for the day! It was a bit cold today with the rain and wind, but we managed to get 46 of our 56 cache goal. We had to get the last 10 the next day. TFTC!

We found the log for this cache, but it no longer has a container. It will probably be pretty soaked soon.

Cache: 16 / 56

Headed out with Joe Friday today with the goal of finding at least 100 caches to earn the Hidden Creatures souvenirs. It was a hot day, but we got it done. Almost all of the caches were quick finds, with containers in good shape and well maintained logs. Not sure how we had so many unfound caches about a half hour from home, but glad we did as it allowed us to get the souvenirs fairly easily. Thanks for all of the fun placements!
