Cache is a medium plastic container. Big enough for small TB's and trade items. This is a cemetery cache. No night caching please. The neighbors will shoot you.
I spent quite some time looking at headstones and writing notes on this cache. Think I know where I left them? Nope.
I recall at least one Revolutionary War vet buried here. I wonder if he knew Nathaniel Massie, who the road is named for and who founded Bainbridge and 13 other southern Ohio towns. There is a stone with a plaque that tells of Massie's life a couple of miles from here on Rt 50. Tinkertom's Mini Micro is there.
If you continue south on Rt 41 for another couple of miles, you'll come to a Mennonite settlement. They look Amish and have a similar, plain and simple lifestyle, but they have slightly differing religious beliefs. Make sure to stop at the bakery for a pretzel sandwich. Very yummy.
Drive carefully. There are many horse and buggies out on the roads at times.
