On our way to Oxford, OH, we decided to swing down 20 miles off the route to go hunt down Indiana's second oldest geocache Turkey Run Stach (GCC6). Located in the west-central part of Indiana near Marshall, Turkey Run State Park resides within geological formations carved out by glacial meltwaters. Hiking the trail system here exposes just how spectacular mother nature can be with its gorges and views. The park also features waterways frequented by paddlers, an abandoned coal mine, and an old covered bridge.
