Kennesaw Mtn. Virtual Geocache by mtn-man and the puppymonster, Virtual Cache (4/4)
Kennesaw Mtn. Virtual Geocache
Geocache|Virtual Cache
This virtual cache is located in the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park near Marietta, GA. Maps of the area are available at http://www.nps.gov/kemo. You are rewarded with a great view of Atlanta, W. Cobb Co., and the N. GA Mountains. Bring a drink and a snack and enjoy!
Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign...
This multi-stage virtual cache is derived from the signs telling you the history of the Battlefield Area. Using the best possible route, the hike is around 3 miles total in length and is very steep in places. You can ride to the top (road closed on the weekends except for a bus). You will need to stay on the trail or the road the entire time. Do not cut through the woods off trail without obtaining park permission (you will not get it!)
The clues below are arranged in order of ascending height. They are not in the best order for travel. Using orienteering skills, you must decide the best order to go to each location. I suggest printing the TopoZone Map and *using* it.
N33° 58.997'
W84° 34.701'
This sign is in the parking lot where you start. On the sign, 6A,000 men were entrenched in front line that was B miles long.   The A and B go below.
N33° 58.523'
W84° 34.893'
From this sign, you must note that there were C number of guns, or cannons, pulled up the mountain by the troops defending the top.
N33° 58.669'
W84° 34.652'
On this sign, the population of Atlanta based on 1860 figures was D,D41, where D goes below.
From this sign, the city's capture on September E was a bitter blow to the Confederacy. The E goes below.
N33° 58.CDE'
W84° 34.ABC'
N33°  58._ _ _'  Final Cache Location Formula.
W84° 34._ _ _'  Insert the A, B, C, D, and E from above.
For correct verification, note the state honored at the final cache location. Email the state name to me... DO NOT PUT IT BELOW or I will delete the log and ask you to log the cache again.
NOTE: Be good hikers, this is a historical area. Cheatham Hill, Pigeon Hill, Little Kenn. and Kennesaw Mtn. are full of history. Many men died here for their country. The earthen mounds or "Earthworks" are fragile; disturbing them causes irreparable damage. Look... no climbing. The earthworks run the entire length of the mountain and the trail follows them and crosses them. As you visit Kennesaw Mtn Nat'l Battlefield Park, help preserve its earthworks and historic landscape for future generations. ALL buildings, historic objects, geologic specimens, plants, and animals are protected by federal law. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times. My dog (J.C.) is always on his leash when we hike.
As of January 2, 2004 there have been 45 logged visits.
Many thanks to all who have enjoyed discovering the area.
It was a great day to geocache. The weather was PERFECT 70 degrees and sunny... Sent verification email with the required information.
Beautiful day of hiking, finding clues and seeing the mountain with our friends Travelin'family. Thanks for the great hunt. We wish there was more caches like this so close to home.
We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon hiking the mtn and gathering clues along the way. Gathered all the info needed and have sent an email. Thanks for bringing us to this historic site that we've never really been to before. We look forward to coming back soon and seeing some of the other sites that we missed today due to lack of time. The views were spectacular from the top! Lots of folks and their dogs enjoying the day. Even saw a deer and several squirrels watching us watch them. Thanks again!
Finally getting around to doing this cache. Everytime I have attempted it has been on a weekend. Email already sent. Thanks for the super cache.
Touring the park today and noticed this one right there and included the spots I was reading about the battle. Thanks for the history lesson.

One Way To The Right Way by mtn-man, Virtual Cache (4.5/5)
One Way To The Right Way
Geocache|Virtual Cache
This is the first cache in Clayton County. This is an unusual cache. You drive to this cache, and do not get out of your car. The challenge is making the right choices in the road that you take to get to the cache location.
DO NOT underestimate the difficulty of this cache.
I started this cache with a different name, but due to the events of 9-11-2001 I renamed it. The cache area has returned to normal.
This cache was named *Into the Heart of the Beast*
THIS IS NEAR A HIGH SECURITY AREA, SO NO ACTUAL CACHE IS USED. This is a virtual cache. For this cache, you do not get out of your car. No brush and no spiders, it is much worse than that. There is only one road that will take you to the cache location and you use the same way back out. You may need to circle around a time or two before you find the right road to gain access to the cache location. You will be in a very busy public commerce area. You will NOT have to go through any security gate. When you get to the cache location, you must note the *Department Number* on the sign at the cache coordinates listed above. If you find the cache location, the required *Department Number* is very easy to see. Email the correct answer to me, and do not put the answer below. I will delete your entry and ask you to do it again. You will be under hidden camera surveillance the entire time you are near the cache location. If you see a gate with a guard, you cannot go through it!
TAKE YOUR TIME; watch the traffic around the area to learn how to get to the correct location. Remember that you will most likely have to circle around a couple of times to get to the correct road to the cache. There are many one way roads here. DO NOT underestimate the Cache! You have been warned.
(The kids will think this area is really cool!)
DRIVE THRU GEOCACHING!
You are at Hartsfield Airport. Cache is near one of the Air Cargo areas, and opposite the main Delta technical operations center. The correct road is near the beginning of Loop road to the left. You will see an air meal kitchen building. The signs say gate fifty.
Found this today after I got around the little bit of construction that was going on in the area. I can see why sometmes though this would be hard to get to. Glad I could see a part of the airbort I would never normally see. E-mail on the way.
Visiting from Ottawa Canada and doing some caching. Managed to get in and around the construction. Sending our answer. TFTC.
Who Wee! I am glad to get this one off the list because one day I am sure this one will be for airport workers only! TFTC!
Pretty easy with no traffic, muggles, or construction problems at 0500. Email to follow.
TFTC
#312
Lunch time drive-thru for me...TFTC!
2nd of 3 for today, and I only had to make three u-turns to get to the right place. I had some time to kill while my wife put our Daughter on a plane (they only let one adult go the gate when children fly alone), so naturally I went Geocaching. I have found the area around the airport quite enjoyable to explore.
Thanks for the hunt,

Microwave to...? by TDTHOMPSON, Virtual Cache (1/2)
Microwave to...?
Geocache|Virtual Cache
Transmitter antenna on Stone Mtn. GA--WHAT is this aiming at?
TERRAIN NOTE: If you hike up, this could rate much higher than a 2!
This is a mere curiosity. On top of Stone Mountain is what appears to be a microwave transmitter antenna. It's on the skylift support tower. Typically, these are line-of-sight transmitters, but I could not figure out what this thing is for or what it's really aimed at.
Update: May 2, 2005. As of this date, it appears there are two good possibilities:
This is a receiver for the local PSB channel 8.
This is a repeater for Motorola-type radios.
Can any savvy geocachers find this transmitters' "twin" on the other side of the beam? We have a few very promising photos in the logs thus far. See this log for an example. I'll start hunting it as well and see if we can get the mystery solved.
UPDATE: September 13, 2005: Google Earth and some clever fiddling has revealed a possible endpoint of the microwave transmitter. Take along a compass and attempt to extrapolate the direction this transmitter is pointing. One cacher suggested 315 degrees; combining that information plus signage viewable behind the water tower (Sam's Club) narrowed things down a lot.
Now, consider also the "King and Queen" buildings are visible in the background of a log photo... and the rest of this will be in the hint below.
This FCC web site might shed light as well, but I can't quite find it yet...
[Unverified as of Sep 13, 2005]: Possible endpoint near 33.831983 N 84.189378 W.
Riley, my son, represented the Geolbite clan on this one during a Scouting outing to Stone Mountain. He and Troop 400, from Pace, FL, travelled to the top of Strone Mountain by foot and perseverance alone. They completed the 10-mile circumnavigation of the mountain as well. Great area and quite a trip! Tons of geocaches in the ATL!! TFTC
Took our Scout Troop 400, Pace, FL to Stone Mountain, GA for hiking and fun! Had planned on doing some geocaching, but alas it was not to be....especially trying to keep up with 19 Scouts and 6 adults. Did get the picture with geolbite's son. I'm at a loss as to what that transmitter would be pointing to, maybe a repeater of some type? Anyway, we had a great time!
Found on a day trip to Stonemountain.
Weather turned so fast that we couldn't even see 5 meters in front of us.
Email on its way.

Greetings from Ireland.
Go raibh maith agat faoi’n taisce seo – agus an cuimhne shona.
Interesting cache! We rode the cable car up at about 5pm knowing we have to walk down and then figure out a way to get back to our vehicle. Our mission was to snag as many caches (virtual, earth, traditional, etc.) as possible on the way down. The pictures below show the mountain top antenna and our theory about the location of its mate. Thanks for the fun!
It was an incredibly beautiful day to make this hike - and it was my first time. Did a number of caches along way, spent time with a friendly red fox (really!), saw a gorgeous full Moon and a great laser show. I will also sleep like the dead tonight! lol
My friend and I think the 'twin' is near the King and Queen - how about the radio station 99X?
TFTH
just me lpg
We decided to climb to the very top of the mountain before finding the four remaining caches. Since we were here... We did notice that there is another dish just like this one on the back side of the Tram building pointing in the opposite direction. It might be that these two work together as a relay point. I also took some readings for a data gathering virtual cache that I will put up as soon as I average the readings. From here we went on to the other three caches we had yet to find. (Wedged in Stone Mountain was our very first find but we only had time for one back then.) 6 of the 11 of us, plus one Cousin, and one Friend.

Hitchiti Trail by fly boy & goldielocks, Virtual Cache (1/3.5)
Hitchiti Trail
This is a scenic location off of the Hitchiti Trail at the Ocmulgee River.
3-4 mile hike down the Hitchiti trail... Take drinking water with you. Moderate hills along the trail, several small wooden bridges across streams. Interesting rock formations, winding creek emptying into the Ocmulgee river. The virtual cache is a fabulous view/picnic/rest spot on the Ocmulgee River. Good parking at the trail head. Make sure to sign the log before starting your venture and when you exit.
oops failed to log after Ocmulgee River Park.
I would be glad to adopt this one and keep it going. Please send me an email.
Cache owner, please see http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#vwlguide

It was a very soggy day, but we had a great time solving the maze of how to get to this cache! Thanks for the cache! #6752 ((([:D])))

Stonewall Solitude by Rebel/adopted by papageorgia, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Stonewall Solitude
Easy cache to find; please show respect for this hallowed ground.
This is an interesting place to visit for Southerners. There is a lot of history in the area. One thing that impressed me was the newness of some of the memorial pieces. It is heartening to see that there are folks of the present who respect those of the past.
On the really big granite obelisk, there is an inscription. (Photo below.) I can't make out the words, but one of the first few folks to log this virtual was able to get the words, see the post by Nasty George.
To score this find you must email me the last name of the Yankee resting near the coordinates.
Enjoy!
Congratulations to the First to Find!
~erik~
Went looking for this one while visiting with my sister-in-law who lives in near by Zebulon; she never knew that Griffin had a Civil War Cemetary. My daughter and her girlfriend had a good time reading the headstones and searching for the Yankee among all of the CSA headstones.
Nice virtual at an interesting location.
Email was sent.
Thanks so much for placing and bringing us out here.
Driving through the area and saw this virtual pop up on the gps. Very interesting location.
Thanks for the fun.
Geoing From Hi Falls to Floyd State Park...Liked the history lesson.TFTC
Hot day but a neat find. I noticed a marker marked: "Unknown Soldier from The Great Wat 1918." That's odd if you think abou it. Thanks for getting me out of the car into this special place.

A Blast From the Past...Virtual Cache by GA Cacher, Virtual Cache (1/1)
A Blast From the Past...Virtual Cache
This Cache is one of 93 Virtuals in Georgia. There is a Challenge Cache to find all 93 active virtuals in GA here is the Challenge Link
In search of...one of the legends of wrestling history in the deep south.br ..If you are over the age of 40 and grew up in the Atlanta area, you'll find this virtual cache a part of your early history. What do you think of when you hear "Stars and Stripes Forever" played? That's right! "Live Atlanta Wrestling". Saturday nights at 7 PM, gathered around the old black-and-white TV, with your host Ed Capparal and sponsored by Bondstone. And your announcer for tonight's matches....Ray Gunkel.
Ray Gunkel was a good guy. Clean cut and articulate, as opposed to, say, the likes of Freddie Blassie, who was a mean guy. The formula was simple. It was good versus evil, nice versus nasty, right over wrong every week. There was no confusion. The mean guys didn't obey the rules and fought dirty. The good guys were humble and stayed within the rules most of the time. Even when the bad guy won, you knew somehow he would get his comeuppance next week. Sadly, Ray died of a heart attack in the dressing room after a match in Savannah in August of 72. I always admired him, both as a wrestler and as an announcer. So in doing some research on the wrestling scene, I ran across his grave site. And the idea for a virtual cache was born.
It's located in the Arlington Cemetery in Sandy Springs. Your mission is to find the grave site and while facing the marker, look 90 degrees to the right and tell me the name carved on the bench that you see. Send me an email with the bench name and I’ll delete your entry and let you repost. Please don’t disclose the name in your post. The cemetery is really a nice place, as far as graveyards go. It has a nice lake, and a has waterfalls and fountains all over the place. Some people even bring lunches for a picnic!
Enjoy!
On Dec 4th, 2007 this cache was adopted from the original owner ErnieB.
For extra points (like "Whose Line Is It Anway" the game's made up and the points don't matter...) name the man Ray Gunkel wrestled in Savannah just before his death and what particular importance did that play in Ray's death?
Last day of caching in GA, back to PA. Beautiful location, had some bounce to deal with to find the marker under the needles. E-mailing the answer. TFTC!
I have e-mailed you with the answer. What a big and beautiful location!
What a huge cemetary. Thanks for the history. Cool cache. Found while working the election board. Email sent. TFTC

Larce Indian Town by Bailey Ave. Boys, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Larce Indian Town
This Cache is located at an old Indian Town of the Chehaw. We were told about the location a few weeks ago, while talking about geocaching. The boys and I went to look at the site and thougt it worthy.
There is a monument located there which reads:
Larce Indian Town home of the Chehaw's, were a friendly agricultural people of the Creek Tribe. Who aided our early settlers. They Contributed men, food and horses to subdue the hostile Seminoles here. Andrew Jackson rested with his starving army and was given help in 1818.
Here also in 1818 through misunderstanding were massacred seven of this tribe by Georgia Troops for which all possible amends were made.
Erected in 1912 by council of safety Chapter of the DAR
The area has picnic tables and is now an old park not used very much any more.
Thanks for the cache! #6795 ((([:D])))
Fun find with friends after the SoWeGa events today. I love these old monuments!
Found while out with Fat Kids and Cheyniacs after the CITO even today. Thanks for the cache.
too bad not frequented much anymore. would be a really nice place to share the day. thanks
Thanks for brining us here. What a great place. TFTC

Fort Mountain Progressive Virtual Cache by Steve and Gary, Virtual Cache (3/3.5)
Fort Mountain Progressive Virtual Cache
This is a virtual cache but has plenty of reward for an outdoors lover. Fort Mountain is a great place high in the NGa Mountains off Hwy52 with breath-taking scenic views. Elevation is 2650 and park is very nice for a family outing. NOTE: Container Caches are not allowed in Georgia State Parks.
This is a rugged area with much history and a great place to get acquainted with. Bring your mtn bike and enjoy the 30 miles of rugged but well maintained trails. Cache site is a spectacular view of the Chattahoochee NF you will find after some navigation on beautiful scenic mountain trails well worth your visit. After registering and paying trail fees at the park headquarters, begin at N 34.45880 W 84.42267 in the parking area for mountain bikers.
Pick one of many trails and navigate to a spot 147.7deg 4540ft from the starting coordinates. Here you will find a beautiful southwest view overlooking the valley below. Look for a small dogwood near the view side of the trail and take a seat on the large oak lying on its side with roots near the dogwood. Enjoy the view and make sure you see a small lake in the valley at about 235deg. You should also see another large standing oak about 15 steps down hill in the direction of the lake. After finding the right tree to sit on, take a reading of the bearing the tree is laying. You will need this bearing to find the cache!!!
Continue to navigate along trails of your choice to a spot 263.8deg 1.17 miles from spot you sat on the downed oak tree. Here you will find one of Georgia Powers finest. Look for a medium size rock in the ground about four steps to the northeast. Standing on this rock, continue along the bearing of the downed tree for the same number of feet as the bearing. Here you will find a spectacular view of the Chattahoochee NF marked by a small cairn of rocks inside a hollow tree.
Look around and you will also find:
Gold Mine Branch at 34.45723 W 84.43013
Very Interesting Mine Chute at 34.47170 W 84.42672
Earnest Mine with Machinery at 34.47147 W 84.42673
Well-maintained Georgia Park for your Enjoyment!!!
Your welcome to take in as much of these as you please and all I ask is that you log your visit on Geocaching.com!!!! Please leave the cache site the way you found it and if you ride your bike please keep it on the trail. For more information, go to http://ngeorgia.com/parks/fort.html
If you take a hard look at the trails and roads, you could take some short cuts but I encourage you to take Gold Mine Trail to East West Trail. If you continue to the mines, be careful on the descent.
I had a lot of fun exploring Fort Mountain and the nearby areas today. Of course, after hiking a total of 10+ miles on the few caches that I did; I was really wishing that I had one of those vehicles that these trails were made for! Thanks for the cache! #6806 ((([:D])))
A really beautiful day at Fort Mountain! The sunny, cool weather this afternoon helped me make my trek to the highest elevation along my chosen route through the park quite enjoyable. Beautiful overlooks and scenery! Flame azaleas were in full bloom at the higher elevations in the park. A great virtual cache - thanks!
Nice area, and quite relaxing, after taking a breather. LOL. Thanks.
Very nice park. Firt time to visit. The views on the way up were breathtaking. The park is well maintained. Thanks for posting some of the highlights.
breath taken. must look never knew it was there been here 10 years. guest i all ways took the wrong way thanks

Fort Early by Bailey Ave. Boys, Virtual Cache (1.5/1)
Fort Early
Wooded area, close to the lake
There is a monument which marks FORT EARLY. The Fort was constructed by Gen. David Blackshear during the war of 1812 and used afterwards by Gen. Andrew Jackson in 1818. The monument was erected by the Fort Early Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1916.
The monument's waypoint is N31 51.555 W083 55.724 this is where you should park.
Another waypoint to check out is N31 51.582 W083 55.742. This is a small monument marking the spot of a spring which was used for water by the Fort.
The land is owned by the local DAR Chapter. we do have permission.
I always wondered how the lake got its name. Thanks for bringing us here.
Interesting that a marker like this is right in a residential area. Snapped a picture and was on the way.
Who would know about this piece of history if not for this cache,,Thanks I found the spring also. TFTC
Out on my 650th consecutive day of caching with at least 1 find per day.
On my way down to Tallahassee, Fl, I decided to make this was one of many cache hunts along the way along the way down.
I stopped by here n my way to another cache just up the road. Thanks for the history. TFTC
Found on 5/31 while out on my boat. This was the first time i have had my boat on the water since fall and was good excuse to blow out the soot on a 13 mile boat ride, collect some sun and find a neat place that I didn't even know was there.

Days of Yesteryear by Black Knight, Pathfinder & D-Mac, Virtual Cache (2/1)
Days of Yesteryear
The coordinates will take you back in time. Just think of your GPS as a time machine as soon as you turn the corner towards your destination you will be back in the early 1900’s. “Memories of the quiet little town - - the sounds of the train whistles, the clanking of the bridge, the roar of the water falling over the dam, the sounds of frogs and crickets, the baseball games, and the swimming holes - - will live on.
This location was used for the filming of very special movie and yet still alive today. Walk around for a bit exploring but before you leave make sure to have lunch. While eating lunch, you must be observant in order to come back and answer these three questions:
1. What is the name of the Movie?
2. What is the name of the Restaurant?
3. Who are the Actors/Actresses pictured on the autographed poster?
The movie was an extraordinary mssg about friendship through thick and thin.
To verify that you've found the "cache" e-mail me the answers to the three questions above, don't post your answers on this web site when you log it.

Simple, quick, and Anita who?
Somebody relatively famous (yet, infamous for his "manly" behaviour) was born here. I believe his mother may still live here(?)
Anyways, there's a sign: who is it and what's the date (on the sign)?

Didn't I just tell you there was a sign? Read.

Superfund Fort by bspeng, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Superfund Fort
Truthfully, the surrounding area is a bit funky. Seems to be a metaphor for Savannah. Anyways, it's still a cool Fort and they could use your patronage (The state bailed out and now it's run by a nonprofit historic society). As you will witness, there's not much space for a workable traditional cache, so it's virtual for now.
Riddle me this: The shell house got worked on, not the Fort. What's the date on the magazine?
This is a fee area: $4.00 Open 9am-5pm.
To claim credit for the find e-mail me the date, don't post your answer in your log, even if encrypted.
This was a very interesting place. Thanks for bringing us here. We were on vacation from Oregon and wanted to find some caches while we were here. Email has been sent.
10/19/2009 09:38 Found: Eureka! I am on vacation at Hilton Head Isle this week. I made the trip to GA to grab some caches today. On a solo run, I was able to make 35 caches which was my goal. I enjoyed my first trip to Savannah very much. It was so cool to see all the cool sights and how they were highlighted by caches! Thanks for the well maintained caches. Night Ranger from Kernersville, NC.
Very nice place that we enjoyed a lot. One side not though is the admission is 6.00 per person now. Thanks for the cache! #6763 ((([:D])))
Never been to this fort before. Enjoyed it and the cannon firing as well. The cannon was a Civil War version versus the Rev. War version that I'm use to. None the less, it was an awesome sight to see.
Note: to cache owner and other cachers. The price to get into the fort is now $6 instead of the $4 posted in the description. It still worth seeing. TFTC! Will email you the date you requested. Thanks again!
Today was my last day at Ft. Stewart and I got off work early enough to make it out here before closing time. What a neat place. I love caches that bring me out to learn some of the local history. The only two problems I have are that my kids were not with me to share this great place and that before I had a chance to take everything in the sky opened up and it poured down on me. I was able to spend as much time as I wanted in the rooms and under cover but I would have liked to have had more time to walk the grounds. When I got back to the admissions area they were debating whether to fire the cannon or not until a huge crack of thunder came which made up their minds for them. Maybe one day I will be able to bring my family here so they can enjoy it too. Thanks for bringing me here.

The Echo Chamber by ShadowSeekers and Seekette, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Echo Chamber
Savannah's little known Echo Chamber
Located on Savannah's Historic River Street, Rousakis Plaza holds among it's more noted areas and pleasures, an echo chamber. One can only guess that the designers knew full well that the plaza held this secret. Why it remained so isn't so easy to figure out. Look for the circular form and in a classical pirate way, "X" marks the spot. Don't worry about your GPS circle of error, you'll be in it or see it nearby. Take friends and share the wonder.
Stand in the center of the X.
Say something.
Try a whisper.
Don't worry if people are sitting around it, you'll be the only one that hears,

Opposite this virtual cache, River Street is lined with shops and resturants, to claim this find, email me the name of the business the cache could be said to be in front of. Please do not post your answer here, even if encrypted. Please also do not include pictures that show the cache or the answer to the claim question. I apologize to anyone offended for pictures deleted, please re-upload any relacements and re-log your visit if a picture deletion affected your stats or has caused a problem with your caching, but please do not include cache photos.
Thank-you for understanding.

Update March of 2009: The cache has been in place 5 years, still people want to post photos of themselves or someone else giving away the secret. Again a series of pics have been deleted. To everyone adding photos not actually at the cache, thank-you. You're doing the right thing and helping make the cache about using a GPS and some treasure hunting skills. To anyone upset about being deleted, I've asked here more than once that you not post spoilers. Why not respect this and save yourself having geosad feelings later when your spoiler goes missing?
The chamber walls are only a foot or two high, think short.
What a cool site! TFTC!
I was in town last month for a day, but I didn't do this one. At the NCGO Fall Fling, Night-Ranger said I had to do this one so I made a special note to get this one next time I was around. This one did not disappoint. Took a few attempts to achieve the effect, but finally I got it. Very wild, cool, and fun cache. I had a lot of fun. Email on the way. Greetings from NC. TFTC
Love it love it love! Played here with different people various times over the long weekend here in Savannah!
Awesome construction of the echo chamber!

NarroWay
Narroway Baptist Church.
Founded Sept. 25, 1880
A great man in my life inspired this geocache after passing way on January 27, 2002.
William Donald Tibbetts, my grandfather, showed me how to enjoy the outdoors and life to the fullest. I just wanted to share this little piece of his world with yawl. So after getting the answer to this cache sit back for a min. or two and just take a deep breath and just be at peace for a bit.
All you have to do is go to the cornerstone of the church and tell me how many times the Tibbetts show up? Just e-mail me you answer. Sorry if it takes a little bit to answer you back but I’ll check my e-mail as often as I can.
THANKS EPOP Clint Pope

Quick and easy; TFTF.
Stopped by on my way to Cedartown today. I had in my mind I was heading to a primitive church. Answer being sent.
Thanks for the cache.
See Marisa's log...we were just talking about the number needed for this cache. My granddaughter has been obscessed with it lately, so when the answer to the virtual info was the smae number we kinda laughed! Email is on its way. TFT(virtual) cache. "Dipped" my Geo Sasquatch coin for the mileage.
#595 Was nearby with Leafer and we came here to find this one. I had the coords in my GPSr but not any of the details of what we needed to look for. Well Leafer reminded me we could look it up with our phones, duh. It is a really peaceful, quiet place. Thank you for bringing us here. The email will soon be on it's way. [:)] Thx

New Manchester Manufacturing Company by mtn-man and the puppymonster, Virtual Cache (1.5/2)
New Manchester Manufacturing Company
This is a virtual cache in Sweetwater State Park. No physical caches are currently allowed in Georgia State Parks unless you have permission. This cache was placed with permission from Sweetwater Park. This was the first cache in Douglas County, and Sweetwater Park is a very nice area. If you like fishing, the area lake and river are beautiful. A $2.00 parking fee or a Georgia Parks Pass is required. Pets are required to be on a leash at all times.
This cache is a tribute to the Roswell Manufacturing Company Cache by CharlieP. His cache is so fun that I thought I would show cachers RMC's twin. There were two large mills supplying the Confederacy in Atlanta. One was the Roswell Manufacturing Company and the other was the New Manchester Manufacturing Company on Sweetwater Creek. In December of 1849 the mill known as the Sweetwater Manufacturing Company began operations. In 1857 the mill was sold to the New Manchester Manufacturing Company. These mills were so important to the Confederacy that they were a huge target. The New Manchester Mill was seized July 2, 1864. The mill in Roswell was burned on July 7th, and New Manchester was burned on July 9th. Large cans of kerosene were carried to each of the five floors of the mill and each floor saturated; the mill was then set fire. The factories and town of Roswell were rebuilt. The town of Sweetwater is but a memory. The New Manchester mill at Factory Shoals was never rebuilt. Only the walls of the mill remain standing today. For over 130 years, vines and trees have been growing inside the ruins that lay open to the sky. A fence has been constructed around the entire mill ruins to protect them.
The coordinates will take you to a plaque near an overlook of the mill. To claim the cache, email the answer to my question using the link above:
Matthew built what there with the aid of Eagle Scout Troop Number WHAT??? Also, describe the plaque location.
For an extra challenge, the falls are a half a mile further down the red trail from the mill ruins. If you go to N33° 44.449' W084° 37.511', tell me how many stairs make up the log steps at that location (HINT: it is between 15 - 25). Sweetwater Falls is a nice wide fall on a wide river.
The Friends of Sweetwater Park Web Site has the best information on the history of the area plus driving and trail maps. You can also go to the State Park Web Site.
What a great way to start off a cool Fall morning than a brisk walk along side a creek with great views. We have lived near this area our entire lives and can not believe we have not explored this area. We saw remains of the raised water line from results of the 2009 floods. There were areas of the creek roped off due to damage or danger. It is good to see that the Mill Ruins are being preserved. Thanks for taking us to Sweet Water Creek, the Mill Ruins and the history of this area. Answers are on the way.
Wondeful hike! Spotted this with 88keys while doing the other multi in the park. I made him take the red trail around to the blue trail, he wanted to turn back before the falls, but I was having none of that! Thanks for the hike!
Thank you sir, may I have another? Enjoyed the hike...Enjoyed getting my butt kicked. The trails weren't too bad, I'm just outta shape.
This one was easy seeing as how we wanted to take a look at the mill right where the answer was! We got some great pictures...
Thnxs.

Price Cutter by Accurate, Endeavor & GeoPup, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Price Cutter
Easy to get to, easy to park & easy to find!
As Boomtown points out, this is a great demonstration cache! TO VERIFY THE FIND YOU MUST E-MAIL ME THE INFO STAMPED ON THE CACHE!
Log your find first! If your email does not include the correct information, I delete your log. DO NOT include it in your post below, even if encrypted!
You're looking for a 3" diameter disk.
Note: The exact altitude at the cache is 1058 feet!(GPS check) Extra Note: DO NOT expect your GPS to be Exact on the altitude. That requires DGPS. This is just a reference point. Look at reception & accuracy and use that info as a guide for other locations. I have re-located to Amelia Island FL. Lot's of beautiful caches. Only 6 hours away. Come for a Mini-vacation & cache hunt here in Fernandina Beach. Once you find the Virtual Cache, walk across the street and get yourself a little treat. Enjoy!
You might feel as though your back is against the wall!
Found it on the 18th. I'm relogging after a rash of armchair virtual cheaters apparently caused my entry to be questioned. If I ever find those guys on the trail... well I guess I probably won't.
C'mon how can you cheat at finding a virtual cache? Seriously. I'm the laziest person in the world and I managed to find this. I'm so lazy I quit smoking after 15 years because I didn't feel like going out to the car to get a lighter.
I've been to this area millions of times and had no idea there was a cache here. Clever idea. The coordinates and the elevation were very accurate. Thanks for this fun virtual! Email on the way.
What a fun little virtual cache! I had no problem finding it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go across the street for a treat. Maybe next time. TFTC!!!!
Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble
My print-out of a Google Earth satellite image with the cache's location depicted on it helped me navigate right to this cache. The elevation at this spot, according to my GPSr, was about 1,071 feet (above sea level). Smiled when I found this cache. Thanks!

This is a really beautiful spot, and I've watched the sunset from here a few times. It's nice because it's far enough up for a great view, but not too far if you've had a long day and you're not up for the entire trip to the summit. And you've got 2 other caches right here, too! TFTS! [:)]
A nice easy cache on our way back from from trying to find F.R.E.D. as we did not want our night to end with a DNF. We also grabbed the micro nearby.

I really love how geocaching (cache hiders) have shown me things I never would have noticed otherwise. It's really interesting to learn the history of this mountain and see dates carved into it from way back. Finding this was a fun part of caching run down the mountain. Answers on the way.
After unsuccessfully searching for Shingle Jingle just a few yards downhill, I was glad to grab this virtual. This was our last cache of the day, b/c the rain started getting pretty heavy and I slipped and fell on the granite. I had my GPSr in my hand when I fell, and I really didn't want it to break, so I twisted and fell all weird to protect it. I help it up like Lady Liberty and her torch as I went down, and I got all banged up [B)] but that's okay b/c the GPS survived! [:D]

Jesse the Baptist by GeorgiaGeoDude3, Virtual Cache (1.5/1)
Jesse the Baptist
Seems that Jesse's cache has gone missing...so instead of archiving
Jesse, he's going virtual.
Have a look around and take in the wisdom surrounding Jesse. And if you need to get anything off your chest, take a seat because Jesse is a good listener. Take your favorite piece of wisdom from AROUND Jesse and send it to me through e-mail as proof of visitation. Please don't post the wisdom here. Or as another means of proof of visitation you can take a picture of yourself and GPSr with Jesse.
Look down and around Jesse for the wisdom.
Out on a middle Georgia numbers run with BRIPOD. Good week end to cache with a great friend. Thanks for having an active cache. Day one was full of streaks. Thanks for being part of the positive streak of finds!
Wow! What wonderful weather we had today! Down here from the Athens area with BoogerHill doing a little caching. We've enjoyed all the caches that we've found but it seems as if we've missed about as many too... We came down last night and stayed in Macon, now in Warner Robins to kick back for the evening. Hopefully the weather and caching will be as good tomorrow! Thanks for all the wonderful hides! We've really enjoyed the history in the area too! Happy Caching y'all... peace

Don't Be Bashful Now by mtn-man, Virtual Cache (2/1)
Don't Be Bashful Now
This is a virtual cache with a twist. You must take a picture of yourself with my beloved Kennesaw Mountain in the background. It must be a fairly clear day so you can see Kennesaw Mountain in the distance. No photo... no found cache!
There have been a few camera caches set up, but I decided to put a twist on this one. You must go to the location at the coordinates above and you must have a camera. This location is not hard to find, but it can be hard to get in to because it is a very busy highway. Once you get there, set your camera on a tripod, on the hood of your car, or have a friend with you to snap the photo.
There are three MAJOR conditions:
1) It must be a clear enough day so you can see Kennesaw Mountain in the photo. It can be hazy and kind of ghosted, but you cannot do this cache on a nasty, rainy day or at night.
2) You or one of your Geocaching partners must be in the photo. You must face the camera for the photo.
3) Please DO NOT post a found log unless you include the photo or I will delete your log (cache-nazi).
This is something of an experiment. I am curious about how many Geocachers will put their photos on the log. If you do not know how to get your photo scanned, email me and I will give you my mailing address. Mail the photo to me and I will scan it and email it back to you so you can post it with your log. This cache can be done as you drive through town as well since it is near a major interstate.
This is not too difficult, but then do you want to post your picture here too? Come on Geocachers... Don't Be Bashful.
This one had been on my list for a while, but I couldn't do it by myself. While my wife and I was going to the movies, I jumped out real quick for a photo opt.
Not the exact coords but the same mtn and my same mug! thanks for the cache
ignore log, username change
This was my first virtual cache and what a blast! I had to take a self portrait so I only got part of my face but you can see Kennesaw Mountain clearly in the background. Thanks for the fun cache.
Found w/Egon13087 on our way to a birthday party.

Burt is Evil by bspeng, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Burt is Evil
Simple, Close to I95, plus an Attraction!
The Mighty Eigth Museum. The virtual cache is on the grounds (so there's no fee to participate.) This museum is nearly across the street from where I work, so naturally, I'd been overlooking it as a possible cache site... But I've been through it a couple of times and it's pretty neat. So if you have the time, money and inclination, I'd go through the museum (at least peek your head inside the entryway). The museum, itself, is open 9:00-5:00, seven days. Cost... I'm not sure, but I'll find out...
The virtual cache is accessable anytime
Anyways, what is Burts last name?
Email your answer using the email link at the top of this page. DO NOT put your answer in the logs, encrypted or not!
By the way, some of you may not know the story of "Bert is Evil"...
This has nothing to do with the museum, the cache or the real Burt; it was just a wacky, aka humorous, title).
There was a guy who was creating digital images with Bert (the muppet character) with all kinds of notorious villains, historic and otherwise (just for the sheer shock value)... Anyways, seems he had done one with Bert and Osama Bim Laden (prior to the heinous act of Sept 11th) and the "Ad Agency" that created the banners for Osama's "We hate (and want to kill) the Infidels!" campaign, lifted that particular image off the internet and used it on Osama's posters. No joke. The creator of the image has since removed the image from his website in response to Sept 11th, but through the glories of copyright infringemment, I share with you. This is only for presentation of a historical oddity, I don't mean to offend anyone, including Burt (the human). From the site: Urban Legends
Two names by the canopy, the last name of Burt.
E mail with name was sent. Glad to finally be able to stop here and not just fly by on the highway. Pretty little chapel in the rear. Enjoyed the stop. Ridgelady431

Holt's House by GeorgiaGeoDude3, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Holt's House
Find and visit the twelve-pounder.
The house was built in 1853 by Judge Asa Holt, but it is better known as the Cannonball House. The name came from the damage it suffered during the Civil War at the Battle of Dunlap Hill just outside of Macon, Georgia. Cannons were aiming for the Hay House that is just two doors up the road. The shot missed the Hay House though, bounced on the Holt's lawn, struck the second column from the left, entered the home over a parlor window, and landed in the hall. Visitors are able to come and pick up the original cannonball and see the dent in the floor where it landed on July 30, 1864. This is the only Macon home that was damaged during the Civil War.
The house is currently home to a Confederate museum, a gift shop, and recreations of the original meeting rooms of the two oldest national collegiate sororities, Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu, just as they were at Wesleyan College, the world's first chartered woman's college (1863).
The virtual cache can be attained at any time, but the house and museum are open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Admission fee is required for the tour and museum though (don't have to pay to get the cache).
To get the smiley:
Find the No. and Wt. of the twelve-pounder.

Send an e-mail with the No. and Wt. you found. (Smileys with incorrect e-mails will be deleted)

F.D.R.'s Pine Mt. Valley Vista by ejldixie and Nasty George, Virtual Cache (1/1)
F.D.R.'s Pine Mt. Valley Vista
This is a virtual site and the objective is to locate and identify the stone structure near a historical marker. To verify that you found the cache and claim credit for the find, e-mail me the words on the plaque at the cache.
All of us, at one time or another, probably consider our lives very complicated. Life is filled with concerns on how are we going to pay for the house, the SUV, get the kids through college, what to do with our aged parents, and the list goes on. Consider for a moment, as you view the vista in front of you, a president, who took office during the great depression, led the country into World War 2, helped implement the United Nations, negotiated with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin, and did all of this while crippled and suffering a pain that we will never have to experience. Try to imagine the burdens placed upon his shoulders and you will understand his need for the solace and solitude he found in this place. Many presidential decisions were made here.
Bring a picnic, and as you enjoy…think back and imagine the linen covered tables, the finest of silverware, candles, and fine wine…far, far away from our nations capital.

Aaron's Home
This is an easy virtual cache. We will only ask for three (3) things from you on your trip. Please e-mail us the requested information from below. No spoilers in your logs please.
Looking out from Aaron's home you will see a field. On the far side of this field is a wall. Some things are written on this wall:
-The first thing we would like you to tell us is what is written on that wall.
-The second thing we would like you to tell us would be the single-digit number and color on the pole just to the left of Aaron's home when you are looking across the field.
-The last thing you need to tell us is the number that is very important to the man who stood on the very spot you are standing on now.
Please keep in mind that scheduled events near this location may hinder your ability to complete this virtual cache at certain times.

Able to get here today while passing through, but was stopped by a security guard who told me I had to have permission from Parks and Recreation Dept. to be on the property. Isn't that strange? Able to determine answers to #1 and #3 but was rushed off before being able to answer #2. I tried to explain what I was doing but the guard was persistent that I leave. Ugh!

Just Summit by Maggie and JB, Virtual Cache (1/3)
Just Summit
Here's another virtual cache on the big rock. By the time you do the other geocaches nearby you might as well go ahead and JUST SUMMIT.
Find the Triangulation Station and email us with the total sum of the three multi-digit numbers you read there. Don't post the answer here. Sounds easy, huh? You may not even need your GPS reciever, but you will need to summit- it'll be good for you!
Follow the trail to the geo disc at the top of Stone Mtn.
Rode the SkyRide on a quick visit. Will email what I noted. Visiting from Massachusetts, wonderful day.

Found on a day trip to Stonemountain.
The weather turned so nasty I think I made it down in 30 minutes wish the cable car was working :-(
Email on its way.
We rode the cable car up at about 5pm while most others were riding it back down. And this was the first cache we went after. Some of the numbers are getting pretty faded but I'll take a stab at it. We also took a close up photo to prove we were there. This is a really cool spot to visit. Thanks for the fun!
Fun find on the top of the mountain. One of many virtuals here. TFTF

The Last General To Die by ejldixie & Felicia, Virtual Cache (2/2)
The Last General To Die
This is a FIVE part virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt anytime of the year, as the required walking should be free of most insects. Caution, watch for trains and ghosts. To confirm your find, please e-mail me with a description of the cache.
The Last General To Die.
As the Civil War came to a bitter end in Virginia, it still lingered on in Georgia. Wilson’s Union cavalry was on a path of destruction from Selma, Alabama to western Georgia and beyond. Most of the Confederate troops left to defend these areas were old men, boys, and some remnants of regular army. Even though starved and relatively out of supplies, these Confederate soldiers gave their last full measure for the South.
Strap on your GPS and come ride with me on the time machine... that will take you back into history.
Part one: Travel to the cache coordinates. On one of the markers you should find the answer to this question, “What was lost at Missionary Ridge?”
Use the answer to decode the coordinates for part two.
N32° 52.665
Part two: You found it! Good. Now tell me the date. Use the year, minus 901 to find part three. You must now cross the river.
N32° 52.624
Part three: You are half way at this point. Watch for trains. Next question: How many cars and engines were destroyed? Add these together, and subtract 34 to find the next cache.
N_ _° _2.807
Part four: Can you smell the gunpowder yet? If the wind is blowing SE, you should get a whiff! Now tell me this, “How wide was the ditch?” Use this number plus 5 to find part five. Beware of any ghosts.
N32° 52.892
Part five: Congratulations, you climbed that hill. How out of shape are you? Did you find the cache?

Cherokee Hieroglyphic by Team Hord, Virtual Cache (1.5/2.5)
Cherokee Hieroglyphic
An unusual marking in an old Cherokee area.
I found this old, man-made mark in this area on a geocaching hike. There are many other markings of the same color around here, but this one is unusual since it's very different from all the rest. The terrain is pretty steep here but it is on a popular trail. You should be able to find it with just the GPS or the hint.
To get your smiley, be sure to describe the marking completely. It's pretty obvious what it looks like. It's a simple design. E-mail the answer to me, don't post it here even if encrypted.
[Warning: total spoiler] The mark is on the walkup trail near the top of the mountain. Follow the right-side yellow-dashed line (trail). The marking is painted using the same paint as the dashed trail. It's right on the trail, near the top in the steep final ascent area.
I found this one today on a beautiful and warm fall day. What a clever idea for a virtual. You have to wonder why this is even there. I would have never known about this had it not been for this geocache, so thanks! Email sent.
This is funny - looks like someone got playful while they were working on the mountain. My son and I found it after snagging Wholly Cheese. TFTS!!!
Found on the hike up the mountain today with anidanid, chefmasterken and his family.
Great clear cool day for a hike.

We chuckled at this one. I wonder what that symbol could mean. This was a fun part of our cache run down the mountain. Thanks for the smiley!! Answer on the way.
First time on the Mountain after living in Atlanta for 20 years!!! Gorgeous, gorgeous day. Spent time with a beautiful little red fox with a big, bushy tail - yes a real red fox that apparently lives near the top of the Mountain and has become quite used to people. : - )
'Hieroglyph' is very easy to miss unless you really read the description (hint wasn't necessary) AND stand in the right area. lol

George Washington knows me, but do you? by ejldixie & Felicia, Virtual Cache (2/1)
George Washington knows me, but do you?
This is a FIVE part virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt anytime of the year, except during a flood, as the short walks should be free of most insects. Caution, don’t get too close…you may fall in!
To confirm your find, please e-mail me with a description of the cache.
I was born in North Carolina and attended Princeton University. During the Revolutionary War I served, with distinction, as a member of George Washington’s staff. After the Revolutionary War, I was a senator from North Carolina. In 1796 I was hand picked by our president, George Washington, to be the Indian Agent for all lands south of the Ohio River. From my Agency on the Flint River, where I maintained a large plantation and raised pigs, I became friends with the Creek Chiefs and took a Creek woman as a common-law wife. I mechanically churned milk by the barrel, which impressed the chiefs. My benevolence with the food I raised saved whole villages from time to time. In 1816 I died at the site known as the Old Agency. On my deathbed I married the Creek woman that I loved. Who am I ?
Part one: Travel to the cache coordinates. Sounds like a city in Tennessee, but Texas was on these men’s minds. Bet you did not know it was made in Georgia. On the marker you should find the answer to this question, “What year was the monument placed?” Subtract 1313 from the year. Use the answer to decode the coordinates for part two. Check out all the other monuments before you leave.
N32 43.192
W084 00._ _ _
Part two: You found it! Good. This monument was erected in the year_ _ _ _. Use the year, minus 1607 to find part three. You must now head towards Texas, so watch for Indians.
N_ _ _0.171
W084 05.886
Part three: You are real close at this point. Watch for boats. Next question: What is the degree of slope? Now subtract 4 to find the next cache.
N32 40.441
W084 05._71
Part four: Can you feel the presence of Indians? I guess they have been long gone. What day of the month did GA acquire the land? Use this number minus 16 to find part five.
N32 40.00_
W084 05.760
Part five: Congratulations! View both sides and imagine life and commerce at this site in the late 1700s. ejldixie (thats me) and Felicia researched, ordered, and set the marker laying flat on the ground.

What a beautiful day for a history lesson. TFTH
We set out this morning with this cache in mind and got sidetracked along the way. As it turned out, the historic spots that we explored before starting this cache wound up being areas we came back to as we worked through the stages of this multi! Great fun on a beautiful Sunday drive. Thanks! Email sent.
Was a great day to be out and making our way from point to point. This cache was very informative and I enjoyed every stop.
This is what I like most about geocaching. Thank you ejldixie and felicia for sharing this part of history. NOTE: To fellow geocachers - the marker at the final has started growing mold and could use a little soapy water. We would like to help preserve the heritage, but did not have anything with us to clean the marker. Emailing cache owner with answer.
Stopped with our camper in tow. Got a couple of stages. Didn't think we could finish this one towing a camper. Have to finish at a later date. TFTAdventure.

A Tragedy Of The War by ejldixie & Felicia, Virtual Cache (2/1)
A Tragedy Of The War
This is a four part virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt anytime of the year, except during Saint Patrick’s Day, as the crowds may be LARGE. The short walks should be free of most insects; however it may be a tad hot between June and late September. If you are from the DEEP SOUTH, as I, it is just another day in paradise.
To confirm your find, please e-mail me with the person’s name on the final cache.
I was born in Ohio on March 25, 1828. While I was still a child, my family moved to Iowa. In 1848 I married Jane Franks and we had 9 children between 1849 and 1865. I never saw my last child, a girl, as I was drafted in September of 1864 to serve in Lincoln’s army. They sent a group of us to Kentucky for training and then by rail to Vining’s Station, Georgia to join Gen. Sherman.
The Battle of Atlanta was over and the army was preparing to march to Savannah. With little rations and equipment I walked, along with 62,000 other Union soldiers, to Savannah. This army seemed destined for success. “We were ready for a meal or a fight, and don’t seem to care which it is”, said one soldier.
I fought at the battles of Griswoldsville, Ogeechee River, and the Siege of Savannah. In December our regiment entered the beautiful city of Savannah. I spent Christmas day with a group of friends from our small farming community in Iowa. We all wanted to go home.
In January our troops departed to invade South Carolina. They left me in Savannah with several others who had become sick and too weak to travel. We were placed in a field hospital that was, until Sherman arrived, a hotel. I was soon diagnosed with typhoid fever and died on February 24, 1865. My family was notified of my death, but they had no money after the war to have me sent home for burial. I was buried in the “Citizen’s Cemetery”, as it was called in the 1800s, next to three of my comrades.
When the Union Army came back to Georgia in 1867 to remove the bodies of all deceased Union soldiers buried in southeast Georgia to the National Cemetery at Beaufort, South Carolina, somehow we were missed. My grave was soon “lost in time.” In 1999, my descendants, who were still living in Iowa, for the purpose of locating my grave, contacted a researcher in Georgia. On December 26, 1999, he located me and notified my family. What a great Christmas present for all of us!
I invite you to also locate me!
PS: I asked the nice gentleman, who found me, to write, in my own words, this cache.
Part one: Travel to the cache coordinates. This is where I died. Sure looks different today, but the name is still the same as it was in 1865. Find the street number (address) and add 294. Use the answer to decode the coordinates for part two. Check out the inside before you leave.
N32 04._ _ _
W081 05.664
Part two: You found it! My general stayed in this nice place. I guess he deserved it. This home was declared a National Historic Landmark in the year_ _ _ _. Use the year, plus 4549 to find part three.
N32 03.860
W081 0_._ _ _
Part three: Silence is golden. These soldiers from the other side are buried near me. We have become great friends over the years. I really wish that the four of us could have been buried next to them, as we were all Americans. Yes, time did pass and the wounds of our nation healed. Next question: How many fingers does this lady have that are pointed up? Now add 7 to find the final cache.
N32 03._84
Part four: Don’t feel sorry for me. In 1909 my wife joined me in heaven and we watched, from far away, our children and their children grow old.
Come back and visit my buddies and me again, as we all like visitors. Flowers would be nice!

Hopefully I found the right name; I'm waiting for confirmation. It's quite a trek between locations two and three so I just finished the other half of this yesterday (10/15/09). The final location was hard to pinpoint, had to do a lot of reading among the "neighbors". If you are going to do this in the mid-autumn to winter months I recommend bringing a car to the last two coordinates since the surrounding neighborhood is not safe in the later half of the day. Bring a camera too!
AWESOME history cache! As always, this is the virtual champ. Thanks for the cache! #6760 ((([:D])))

Last stop of the day after Stone Mountain. I actually thought I was lost. Imagine coming to the culdesac of a residential area to see a sign that says grave yard right between all the houses. It was almost dark and I felt odd going in but I am sure glad I did. Very cool history in the oddest of places. [:)]
Ahh, now that I work first shift, it's not midnight when I get off of work (my first attempt at Nesbit Project was around midnight in the rain, and the trees kept reaching out scratching the umbrella... I only do cemetery caches during daylight hours now). As with all wars, heroes come in all ages. I noticed that two of the minutemen were really just boys, one 17 and one 20. I was glad to see that they outlived the revolution. I think we all take for granted all the sacrifices the brave men and women of the revolution made for freedom. Thanks Yellow Jacket for another great cache. And thanks to all those who gave us our freedom and keep us free today!

Well -- - - We were there, and so were a gazillion students, and the auto traffic was terrible. Couldn't get a picture because parking was out of the question. Enjoyed see the campus (although my driver wasn't enjoying himself as much as I was). Guess it was the wrong time, on the wrong day.

A Master of the Trade by ejldixie & Felicia, Virtual Cache (2/1.5)
A Master of the Trade
This is a FIVE part virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt anytime of the year, as the short walks should be free of most insects. To confirm your find, please e-mail me the caption, not the dates, on the last cache.
My name is…well, you will find out later. I was a slave for half of my life, and I earned a place in history for the legacy of more than 100 covered bridges that I built throughout Georgia and neighboring states.
Although my story was mostly forgotten until about a century after I died in 1885, my life is now the subject of a documentary film by Tom Lenard of Auburn University in Alabama.
My unmarked grave was discovered in LaGrange in 1978; now a granite headstone erected by the Troup County Historical Society marks it. There is a street named for me in LaGrange, and there is a historical marker telling about my life.
My story began in 1807 in South Carolina, where I was born a slave; my ethnic heritage was a mixture of African-American, Native American and white. My second owner was John Godwin, an entrepreneur who studied bridge building with some of the leading New England experts of the times. In the 1830s, Godwin moved to West Georgia, where bridge builders were needed, especially to help open up the Chattahoochee Valley region. Though I was technically Godwin's "property," in reality, I functioned more as Godwin's junior partner.
Together, we built the first bridge across the Chattahoochee connecting Columbus with Phenix City, Alabama (then known as Girard). The 560-foot-long covered bridge was crucial to the development of the region.
In the early 1840s, a catastrophic flood washed the bridge down the river. Columbus officials were anxious to get a new bridge, so they awarded the contract to Godwin, who had given them the highest bid but the earliest completion date. I was credited by historians with making the project successful, as I salvaged pieces of the old bridge to help build the new one before the deadline.
It was this kind of cooperation that led Godwin to give me legal freedom in 1846. The Alabama Legislature, likely influenced by an important legislator who was a business associate of Godwin, passed a bill making my freedom official.
It is also likely that Godwin's failing finances and ill health contributed to the timing of his decision to make me a free man. Godwin wanted to ensure that I could not be considered part of his estate that could be claimed by creditors.
Godwin died in 1859, setting the stage for tribute from myself. Over Godwin's grave in Phenix City, I erected an ornate headstone for which I paid $1,000, an incredible sum in those times. The inscription on the headstone reads, "This stone was placed here by ------ ---- in lasting remembrance of the love and gratitude he felt for his friend and former master."
As a newly independent businessman, I moved about the South building covered bridges in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. I also built homes, commercial buildings, a state hospital in Alabama, and a three-story textile mill that still stands near Columbus.
I am also is credited with building the magnificent self-supported wooden staircase that is still one of the most outstanding features of the Alabama Capitol building. But it is my bridges that seem to have captured people's hearts, There was a sign on the covered bridge across the Chattahoochee at Columbus warning that anyone traveling faster than walking speed would be subject to a $10 fine. [One of the family's bridges (my sons were also builders) was Glass' Bridge between LaGrange and West Point.] When that bridge was deliberately burned down in 1954,it had been built so well that fire was the only efficient means of demolition…some people openly wept.
During the Civil War, I worked in Columbus building ships for the Confederacy. After the war, I served four years in the Alabama State Legislature, and then moved to to LaGrange, Georgia, in the early 1870s. There, I set up my four sons in a construction company that built private homes, downtown commercial buildings and part of a school for black children.
When I died, my funeral procession went around what is now Lafayette Square, the center of LaGrange. Business stopped, and blacks and whites alike came out to pay their respects. In my obituary in the local newspaper, it was noted that I had "risen to prominence by force of genius and power." Who am I and where am I buried?
Part one: Travel to the cache coordinates. Great view! Imagine the view that I had from this point in the late 1800s. We came many times to this hill in the summers to escape the heat, as there was always a breeze. They built this about 42 years after I died…for a very notable man. What year was it built?
Take the year and add 410.
Use the answer to decode the coordinates for part two.
N33 0- ---
Part two: This heroic man came to the area before I. He came to our aid in the war for independence, serving with General Washington. Our town, as well as many other sites and features in this country, was named in his honor. At what age did he become a Major General in the Continental Army? Use the answer, minus 7 to find part three.
W085 0- -08
Part three: I finally got a monument in the town that I lived. This is the second one at this location, as an out of control automobile destroyed the first.
The text states that I moved here in ?. Use this date, minus 128 to fill in the blanks.
N33 0-.---
Part four: Quite please, as these men are sleeping. Did you find my buddy from South Carolina? I was also born and raised in that state. Thomas was wounded in the Atlanta campaign, and died in a local hospital. Some nights we talk about growing up in rural Carolina, the war, and life in our beloved South.
I built ships for their army. They recruited me saying, “If you can build bridges, you can certainly build ships.” We built some beauties at the Confederate shipyard in Columbus. Now it is time to find me. You could jump the fence and head west, but go out the gate so you can latch it as you leave. Don’t forget…leave before dark!
Thomas died at what age? Add 45 to find the cache.
N33 01.--0
(may be off some because of tree cover)
Part five: Congratulations! I hope those big Oaks did not hinder your navigation tool. We heard that a man, named French, from Columbus is writing a book about my life. Several years ago he did a movie for PBS about me. I am sincerely grateful for all of the recognition, even though I was only doing what I enjoyed. Much of my work is still standing today. A great example of my work is a restored covered bridge in nearby Upson County, Georgia, and the grand stairway in the rotunda at the state capital in Montgomery, Alabama. Not too bad for a self-taught ex-slave from South Carolina. Just goes to show you, one can achieve…if one tries.
Available year-round Bicycles permitted on paths Less than 500 ft. from car to cache

Hint: You can set your watch at the first cache and go back in time at the last. Ghost may be a problem after dark.
Great find for today! We had so much fun running around all those interesting places! Thanks for the adventure!
found this one with crzyouthguy tfth, this was a funn one to do as it took us all over the city, answers to question are on the way through email.
This was my favorite cache of the day! I would love to see the documentary film. Thanks for the history lesson and the tour of LaGrange. At stage 2 there was a breast cancer awareness fundraiser in the park. The water fountain was "pretty in pink" -- as the water had been dyed. Email with answer is on the way.
[:D] # 200 for me. Thanks. Out with Cleverpig and had found some of his work before so we decided this was a worthy hunt. Nice to learn as you cache. Thanks,
This was a really fun cache that took us to some interesting places. Thanks for putting this one together.

Spend some time looking around at the park, you will enjoy it.
Was glad to have something to search for on the battlefield. Got there nice and early this morning, 7 am as the mist covered the fields. TFTC!
In celebration of our anniversary we set off on a little road trip. The trip equated to: 4 days + 1221 miles + 5 states + 5 outlet centers + 6 waterfalls + 4 Nat'l Forests + 1 Nat'l Preserve + 1 Nat'l Military Park + 1 State Park + 1 Scenic Train Ride + 68 caches = 2 weary individuals.

Got it this cold Fall day.
We sent the appropriate answers to the cache owner. TFTC
My wife and I came from San Francisco to visit relatives in Nashville and decided to drive to Chattanooga to visit the Chickamauga Battlefield site and do some caching in a state we had not visited before. Thanks for the cache.

Practice Makes Perfect by GeorgiaGeoDude3, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Practice Makes Perfect
Found this place while wandering around town a while back. Very unusual place on a deadend road.
I found this place a while ago wandering around town. It took me a minute to realize what they practiced here. Then I realized for them to be so perfect everywhere else that they just HAD to practice somewhere... and I had found at least one place where they practiced this unusual thing.
So your quest, if you decide to accept it, is to do the following:
Go to the coordinates.
Realize what it is they practice here.
Log this page to get your smiley.
Email me what they practice here.
Of course your smiley will be erased if your answer in the email is incorrect and I'll ask you to try again.
Sometimes straight and true, sometimes curved, but never as messy as at this place you will see.
This was an accidental find when I didn't know that I was looking for a cache. Having been alerted by another, however, I'll take the find. On the same trip I accidentally found the Cox place, which I'm told is worth visiting. TFTS!
This is the most humorous virtual we have visited. Ms. J was very curious about this cache ---- it has been on her "To Do" list for some time. We both had our guesses of what the practice was going to be. As we were arriving at coords Ms. J, said this is so odd. As she was looking toward the right, she had an idea of what could be practiced here, but not confident with her answer. We drove down to the end of the road and turned around heading back out when Mr. J had the "Ah-Ha" moment. We laughed all the way down the road to the next cache. Answer is on the way. Thanks for making this a fun day!!! [8D]
Thanks for the fun! I had to get some help with what was being practiced out there though. I saw what I was supposed to find, but I didn't know it at the time. But it was rainy and wet when I first rode out there. I did go back a 2nd time after it dried off to take another look. Very cool!!!!! TFTC!!!!!
This one is great. Had a feeling what it was going to be, but whoa were we off. Did the same as a few others and actually turned around at the end of the road and started heading back when it struck us. Email on the way. Thanks for an interesting one!
Very funny location. I saw 2 dear in the road on the way to the cache. Thanks for the fun. [:)]

I Don't Know's on Third by Jimmus & SpikesMom, Virtual Cache (1/1)
I Don't Know's on Third
This series of virtual caches is dedicated to the laughs we get every time we hear or see the famous Abbot and Costello routine, “Who’s of first?” If you’ve never heard it before, check out http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml.
We have chosen this cache name theme because of the names of the first and last town you will be in. We hope you enjoy the series. To score a homerun, collect all four caches in this series - Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third, and Today's the Catcher.
To collect this virtual cache you need to find the answer to the question, "What date do you find here?" This bridge goes over the Etowah River. Just upstream is Long Swamp Creek where the battle described at “Who’s on First?” was fought. Around 1948, Jimmus and his father search this area and found lots of pottery shards.
Please e-mail answer to us - don't put it in your log for this cache.
Ball Ground got its name because this was where the Native Americans of the area played ball and had a field.
Nice drive. About got run over slowing down to read the date. Info on it's way
yup.... sat in car while weazel ventured into the road... smiley either way!
This weazel was almost roadkill getting the answer. So, be careful fellow cachers! The answer has been sent!
Visited and found this nice cache on 11-2-09, the 9th day of my caching trip. I had a great time hunting caches in the area. Thanks for placing this cache for me to find. Orale! Live, laugh, love, cache.
My apologies for the delay in logging and the copy-paste.
Found this with my parents while going to Ellijay for apples. Had great Bar B Q up there while hunting Pork and Beans. The ribs are to die for (guess the pig did!!). I love virtuals on a wet sloppy day, keeps the shoes cleaner than scrambling through the brush. TFTH. Ready to go find the other 3 now. Ridgelady431

The Cabbagetown Tunnel by the fisherKings, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Cabbagetown Tunnel
A literal drive-thru virtual cache. Think of it as an easy pick-up on your way to one of Atlanta's more challenging geocaches.
This is a uniquely decorated tunnel in a neighborhood that is trying to revitalize itself. Drive thru. Enjoy the artwork. You don't even have to leave the car.
To claim the find:
Please e-mail us the height clearance of this tunnel. And if you happen to notice the date that is carved into the stone at the top and end of the tunnel, that would be nice too. The date on one end is different than on the other. Either is fine. Don't post answers here, even if encrypted.
As a sidenote:
When you leave the south end of the tunnel, look West and you will see the famous Cotton Mill (now condos)at the end of the road. You may remember it caught fire a few years back during renovation and a crane operator was stuck near the height of the smoke stack with giant flames just below him. A firefighter was lowered from a helicopter by a cable or rope and both were whisked off to safety.
Finally remembered to get this one. Was in the area recently for the Cabbagetown Chomp and Stomp Chili Cookoff...it was a blast! If you've never been, Google and be sure to come next year (I'm evening thinking of entering a Chili myself)!
Thanks for the cache!
Found it last weekend with my family.
Actually, I rode through it a dozen times during the 2009 FM24 bike race and thought it might be the tunnel in question.
Enjoyed this drive thru cache. It's too bad the graffiti artists can't put all their energy and talents towards something a little more useful to society. Answers have been emailed to owner. TFTC & smilie #1348
We were visiting from Ottawa Canada and went through the tunnel just before we left to go south. The tunnel is quite something! E-mailing our answers. TFTC.
We are from Wa. and my cousin lives right around the corner so we were able to go for a walk and find the cache. tfth
Our first of four caches for today. The best part was when Zachary (our youngest) cheered when we exited the tunnel (both times). One of the best things I like about Geocaching is the cool places we get to visit and see that we would have otherwise never known about. Thanks Sushi for another interesting location. Only 2 of 11 of us on this one.

By the Brow of My Sweat
This is a virtual cache that does not require you to leave your car. It is in a residential neighborhood that provides a breathtaking view. Please respect the fact that you are on a public road that runs through private properties.
This a drive-to-it cache. On foot it would be a definite 5 and then some. Bet you can't make it on your bicycle, Johnnie. You do not need to leave your car; however, you do need to send an e-mail stating what the plaque in the middle of the road celebrates. Without it, your log will be deleted. Would also love to have you send a picture of what you see when you start your journey back to the south. It's worth the trip especially on a clear day after it rains (whatever rain is).
Again, please repect the neighbors and enjoy a wonderful view.
On a clear day the view from here is probably the best you can get of the Atlanta skyline. Take the high road from Wigley near Sandy Plains all the way to the top.
We have had reports that MapQuest does not show this road. If you view MapQuest 3 notches shy of the closest view, you will see the high road.
i discovered this spot quite some time ago and take out of town visitors to take a look at the skyline.
thanks for sharing the view.
What a fun cache! Too bad it was such a cloudy, rainy day. But even so, the view on the way down was great. TFTC!!!!
What an amazing view and what an amazing neighborhood. Those are some beautiful houses with beautiful views. I had no reason to ever drive up there but I'm glad this virtual cache brought me there. Thanks so much!! Email on the way with the answer.
Wow! I bet this view would set you back a pretty penny. Rat Rat and I said this would be a heck of a bicycle ride up. Wha hoo! What a fitting name for # 500. This gave my car the terrain level 5 workout. Awesome view from the back decks of these houses. TFTC!

Swamp Fever by Rebel (adopted by ParentsofSAM), Virtual Cache (1.5/1)
Swamp Fever
This was one of Rebel's favorite areas for contemplative walks and just sittin' & thinkin'. I hope you like it too. Open daily, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed Christmas and New Years Day.
No bushwhacking - stay on the paths!
This virtual is located in the Ocmulgee National Monument, hence no actual box. You can find the two facts you need to score the find by foot and car, or all by foot. Your call.
Send me: 1)The serial number of the item found at the coordinates (it's on two identical data plates), and 2) the number of posts that hold up the center of the roof of the Earthlodge.
The Earthlodge? Yep. And, you'll have to find that on your own, but it shouldn't be hard. It kind of sticks out.
Please don't include the necessary info in your log.
There is a path between the two points. To count the posts, you'll have to get down low.
Found With scubachris53, just a happy caching day :) TFTC
Great place for a hike on a georgious day. TFTF
We were stopping here anyway and only then I noticed this cache nearby. Wow, what an interesting place. Loved the lodge and the newly redone visitors center. Thanks for adopting this cache.
Wow! what a great place. My parents brought me here when I was 8 or 9 years old. Thanks for the cache! #6759 ((([:D])))
[green][b]I was out checking on my near by cache and decided to finally get this great virtual. I have been here in the past with Gourd Guy, who just loved this place. Always brings a smile to come back. Thanks for keeping this wonderful cache going.

GA STATE FAIR by Epop, Virtual Cache (1/1)
GA STATE FAIR
This cache is in the Ga State Fair. So that means you’ll have to pay to get in. I thought it might be fun to geocache while having fun at the fair. The only time it will be available is when the fair is in town.
The booth is sponsored by BSA troop 757. We have done this for many years here as the troop's only fund raiser at the GA State Fair. Even though this is a VC cache you could trade $2 for what we're cooking.
Go to these Coordinates and tell me what is cooking in the grill.
E-mail me the answer after you log the cache. IF the answers is wrong I'll email you back.
Thanks,
EPOP [:D]
Found the Boy Scouts of America booth. Roasted corn in the oven!
Very fun while we were at the fair! Roasted corn... YUMMY!!! TFTC!!!
[This entry was edited by TravelingPhotog on Monday, October 05, 2009 at 5:52:42 PM.]
I, too, got there at 10:00 AM for the free admission, so no money was spent entering the fair. It was a beautiful day and there was lots of good food. It was nice to be able to look for a virtual cache while at the fair. Clever idea.
3257. I took advantage of the free admission this morning and scooted around the fair. I am very happy to have scratched this one off of my list finally. I am also glad to have have logged it properly. I've had a reminder set for about three months now.
Good Hiking... mtn-man
Thanks for highlighting the Scouts and the fair!

Trail Dog Geocache ~ Skidaway Aquarium by Penny & Chaos, Virtual Cache (1/2)
Trail Dog Geocache ~ Skidaway Aquarium
These caches are dedicated to those of you who want to get off the sidewalk to walk/hike with your best friend. These trails are dog friendly. Please use proper Trail Dog etiquette. Always keep your dog on a leash & make way for other hikers who may not share your love of dogs. Be mindful of the environment and "Leave no Trace".
Skidaway is a barrier island south of historic Savannah. The Aquarium at Skidaway Island is part of the University of Georgia Marine Extension Service, which offers a variety of educational programs and services to inform and enrich the public's knowledge and appreciation of coastal and marine life in the Lowcountry.
The site's most arresting feature is its 14-tank aquarium, which features a variety of marine life native to the area, as well as exhibits showing some of the more spectacular of Georgia's sea creatures. The aquarium is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, with a modest admission charge.
Beyond the aquarium is the Jay Wolf Nature Trail. The trail winds its way through the remains of the old Roebling plantation, and along the trail are the remains of cabins and fences that were used by its human and animal inhabitants. Many of the trail's trees and plants are marked, and you will see such staples as the live oak, saw palmetto, sweet gum and resurrection fern.
Parking is free. There is a small admission fee for the aquarium.
There is a shady picnic area with grills near the trailhead. Bring a bag lunch (& bug spray) & enjoy yourself.
These coordinates take you to the trailhead. About 2/10 of a mile away, there is a fork in the trail. Email me the names of the two trails to receive credit for this cache.
Be sure to find bspeng's S.S. Caretta while you are here.

Found with tgen. It is a very pretty area and we will have to go back at a later date.
Found this with the family while visiting a friend who was a part of the De Tour for the Cure that was going on at the same area. Was hoping to do other caching in the area, but was not able to. This is such a nice place, we'll have to come back soon and complete the others in the area. TFTVC...

Trail Dog Geocache ~ Skidaway Island State Park by Penny & Chaos, Virtual Cache (1/2)
Trail Dog Geocache ~ Skidaway Island State Park
These caches are dedicated to those of you who want to get off the sidewalk to walk/hike with your best friend. These trails are dog friendly. Please use proper Trail Dog etiquette. Always keep your dog on a leash & make way for other hikers who may not share your love of dogs. Be mindful of the environment and "Leave no Trace".
Skidaway is a barrier island south of historic Savannah. Skidaway Island State Park borders Skidaway Narrows, a part of the intercoastal waterway, and provides scenic camping and picnicking areas. Two nature trails wind through marshes, live oaks, cabbage palmettos and longleaf pines, allowing visitors to watch for deer, raccoon, shore birds and rare migrating birds such as the Painted Bunting. An observation tower provides another chance for visitors to search for wildlife on this beautiful island. Most facilities are ADA accessible.
The two nature trails connect to provide a 5.5-mile walk. Both trails lead to Civil War earthworks, liquor stills from prohibition days and shell middens from early American Indians. Dogs on 6-foot leashes are welcome on both trails except during the nesting season for the beautiful Painted Bunting. During that season (approximately April 1-May 31) dogs are only allowed on the longer Big Ferry Trail.
There is a shady picnic area near the trailhead, bring a bag lunch (& bug spray) & enjoy yourself.
There is a $2 State Park fee (or use your annual pass).
These coordinates take you to the trailhead of the Big Ferry Trail. Along the trail is a little side loop that takes you to an old liquor still. There is a sign so you know where to turn. The fence beside the still was an Eagle Project. Email me the troop number and the date on the fence to receive credit for this find.

Trail Dog Geocache ~ Fort McAllister Historic Park by Penny & Chaos, Virtual Cache (1/2)
Trail Dog Geocache ~ Fort McAllister Historic Park
These caches are dedicated to those of you who want to get off the sidewalk to walk/hike with your best friend. These trails are dog friendly. Please use proper Trail Dog etiquette. Always keep your dog on a leash & make way for other hikers who may not share your love of dogs. Be mindful of the environment and "Leave no Trace".
Located on the south bank of the Great Ogeechee River, Fort McAllister Historic Park is the home of the best-preserved earthwork fortification of the Confederacy. The sand and mud earthworks were attacked seven times by Union ironclads. But they did not fall until captured in 1864 by Gen. William T. Sherman during his infamous March to the Sea. Nestled among giant live oaks and beautiful salt marshes, this park is a quiet location for camping, hiking, fishing and picnicing. Opening in early 2002, the park's new Civil War museum features an interior designed to look like a bombproof, exhibits and artifacts, a video and gift shop.
Nearly 2.5 miles of trails offer great opportunities for bird watching. Painted bunting are most often seen in late spring through summer along the causeway. Bald eagles are most often seen during winter. Ospreys are most often seen in spring and summer. Look for migrating warblers during spring and fall migrations and look for northern harriers winging low over the marsh in winter.
There is a shady picnic area near the park office, bring a bag lunch (& bug spray) & enjoy yourself.
There is a $2 State Park fee (or use your annual pass).
These coordinates take you to the trailhead of the 2.4 mile Redbird Creek Trail. Along the trail is a sign directing you to the observation deck. Email me the number of steps to the top of the deck to receive credit for this find.

Fort McAllister
P.S. If you are collecting benchmarks, there is a geodetic survey marker near the fort. The concrete block for one of the reference markers is actually on the walkway & above the ground.

Bushbob and I found this one today. I drew the short straw and had to sit with the dog (he could not get out because he does not like other dogs or very many people. I went inside and got information about the Fort and etc. Returned to the car and dog sat. Thanks for the smiley.
Thanks for the hide. It is a very interesting park, lots of special history. I hope everybody learns the story of the cat. email to follow.
We had another really nice walk in this area. Got out of the swamp a little after dark! Thanks for the cache! #6772 ((([:D])))
While camping at the park we enjoyed a beautiful day exploring the fort and then taking this hike to see the marshes. TFTH!
Staying at the campground and rode our bikes to the trail and the lookout. Great day and great fort and trails. TFTC

Tustunnugee Hutkee by ejldixie & Nasty George, Virtual Cache (2/1)
Tustunnugee Hutkee
This is a FIVE part virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt between 8:00 AM and dusk anytime of the year, as the short walks should be free of most insects.
To confirm your find, please e-mail me all the dates, on the last cache.
Called Tustunnugee Hutkee (White Warrior), William McIntosh was the son of Captain William McIntosh, a member of a prominent Savannah, Georgia family sent into the Creek Nation to recruit them to fight for the British during the Revolutionary War. His mother, a Creek named Senoya, was a member of the prominent Wind Clan. Raised as an Indian, he never knew his Tory father who, after fathering a second son by another Creek woman, returned to Savannah. Because among the Creeks, descent was determined through one's mother; the fact that his father was white was of little importance to the Creeks.
A cousin of Georgia Governor George M. Troup, he gained the enmity of Alabama's Upper Creek Indians by leading General Andrew Jackson's Indian troops during the Creek Indian War of 1813 - 1814, during which the Upper Creeks were defeated. For his services at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend and elsewhere, he was commissioned a brigadier general in the United States Army.
During the War of 1812, a civil war between the Upper and Lower Creeks broke out, and McIntosh was selected to head a kind of national police force established by Benjamin Hawkins, an Indian agent, to deal with nativistic Creeks, who were led by another half-Scottish Creek, Peter McQueen. "Now increasingly evident was the impending estrangement between the nativistic Upper Creeks and the Lower Creeks, who were increasingly swayed by Hawkin's policy of acculturation, his political system, and his argument for the necessity of the law menders [like McIntosh] to see justice done." ["McIntosh and Weatherford, Creek Indian Leaders" by Benjamin W. Griffith, Jr.]
In an 1817 letter written to President Madison and signed by McIntosh, Madison was told that, while the more influential Cherokees of mixed blood wanted to swap their land, the "not so much civilized" pure bloods feared the mixed-bloods would--as they did--swap all their land, leaving them "without any land to walk on." The Creeks feared that these Cherokees might--as they already had--take land from the Creeks.
After the Creek Indian War, McIntosh built a plantation on the Chattahoochee River in Carroll County called Lockchau Talofau (Acorn Bluff) that was worked by 72 slaves. (It is near Whitesburg and is today maintained as a park by Carroll County.)
McIntosh also fought for the United States in the First Seminole War. He gained fame during this war by playing a major role in the capture of a "Negro Fort" located on the lower Apalachicola. (Georgia slaves escaped and took refuge with the Seminoles in British-held Florida.) This fort was occupied by about 300 black men, women, and children, 20 renegade Choctaws, and a few Seminole warriors. Its defenders were led by a black named Garcon. The downfall of the fort was brought about by an American cannon ball heated red hot setting off a tremendous explosion when it landed in the fort's magazine. (A magazine is where black gun powder is stored.)
Despite the fact the Upper Creeks had vowed to kill anyone who signed away any more Indian land, McIntosh, along with eight other chiefs, on February 12, 1825 signed the Treaty of Indian Springs; thus relinquishing all the Creeks' land in Georgia in exchange for $400,000, which was then worth vastly more than it is today. Whether he signed the treaty for personal gain or because he believed signing it was in the best interests of the Creek Nation is still argued. Despite Governor Troup's promise to protect him, on April 30th about 200 Creeks set fire to McIntosh's plantation and killed him. If his enemies had waited much longer, McIntosh wouldn't have been there, as he was planning to leave soon to look over land promised him along the Arkansas River. McIntosh's home served as an inn and tavern on the Federal Road where it crossed the Chattahoochee, and because the River was then above its banks, some travelers had decided to spend the night there, hoping the waters would recede. Thus, there were several witness to the terrible events that took place there besides McIntosh's family.
Just before daybreak, a party of Upper Creeks set fire to an outbuilding in order to light up the yard so as to prevent anyone from escaping. They called to the white guests and women to come out, saying they would come to no harm. McIntosh's son Chilly and another mixed-blood escaped from an outbuilding they were sleeping in because there wasn't room for everybody in the main house.
Shot in the front doorway of his home, McIntosh managed to climb the stairs to the second floor, from which he began shooting at his assailants. Forced to leave when they set fire to the house, he was shot and dragged some distance from the house. Raising himself on an elbow, he gave them a defiant look as he was stabbed in the heart. An eyewitness estimated that his corpse was shot about 50 times. After destroying what they could not carry off--slaves, horses, and cattle--the assassins left.
After his death, his wife Peggy complained in the Cherokee Advocate that, "I do not blame the Creeks, the Creeks treat me well, the Cherokees treat me well--it was by Government my husband lost his life--Government say to my husband 'Go Arkansas, go to Arkansas, and you will be better off.' My husband wished to please the Government--my house is burned, myself and my children run--my children naked--no bread--one blanket, is all--like some stray dog, I suffer; with one blanket I cover my three children and myself--the Government say 'Go!' The Indians kill him; between two fires my husband dies; I wander--Government does not feed me--Creek does not feed me--no home, no bread, nothing! nothing! Till Gen. Ware gives me a home, I suffer like some stray Indian dog."

Found this one while out at Mac. Park today. great History lesson and a great adventure. TFTC
We enjoyed all the stages of this virtual cache, especially stage two. What a beautiful view, especially on this cool and breezy day. E-mail is on the way. Thanks for the cache, the tour, the smiley, and for showing us this beautiful place. [:)]
This was a fun adventure. We had noticed the structures at Stage 1 driving to the parking area and wondered what they were. This gave us the opportunity to see the area up close. What a view at Stage 2! We hit a snag at stage 3 and didn't have the hint with us. But we took a guess after reading nearby signage, and guessed correctly. Off to Stage 4 where we ran into another minor snag when the coordinates put us between two signs with dates, but again we guessed correctly and found the nearby final. Enjoyed the walk through the park and the various scenes that greeted us. TFTH!
Interesting history in the area. Thanks for the find.
Enjoyable hike that took us to some new places in the park. Glad there was a hint for part 3; not sure I would have gotten it without it. TFTH!

The Listening Tree by chazcone, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Listening Tree
The Listening Tree (take care, it hears Everything)..
There's an old Cherokee Indian legend that the trees can hear us talk and pass our words along from one to another -- in this way, Mother Nature learns all she needs to know about what we're thinking. Do you believe it? Well...
You can drive to this one and, no matter which way you approach the cache, you'll see some of Atlanta's loveliest homes.
When you're at the coordinates and look up at The Listening Tree (don't worry, you'll know it when you see it), look to the right and email me with the number beneath the wheel. Don't climb the fence or otherwise enter The Listening Tree's enclosure!
Please email me with the number before you post or The Listening Tree will know and will be forced to delete your post.
Please don't put spoilers in your posts; let's make the The Listening Tree's secret last.
Thanks for the fun find.
Just sent the email. I had no idea what to expect from this one, but I certainly wasn't expecting this. Very clever idea for a virtual. I'm glad this one is still around. Thanks for the fun!
Nice find on the way home.
Cool Virtual. We were surprised by this one, not at all what we expected. Thanks for the fun virtual. Answer on the way.
Sent the email as requested. Really loved this cache. Haven't been in this area in about 20 years. Thanks for bringing me back. Ridgelady431

FUN, FUN, FUN, logging in my own account; TFTF
Mmmmmmm, DELICIOUS! Thanks to AndymanD for adopting this cache as it has been on our 'must do' list since shortly after it was placed. It took a Cub Scout field trip for us to finally get by. I am proud to add our name to the small list of dedicated cachers who favor quality over quantity, and don't mind spending an hour or two just to find one cache.
Thanks,

the sign say at the end of the trail. I must know all the
information on this final sign. Please stay inside the water craft
that you use!!!!! Good Luck and enjoy this beautiful area!
This was a great trip and saw a LOT of wildlife. I didn't expect to see so many gators up close, not to mention the fish, including one skipjack that almost jumped into the boat, the birds and the turtles. Thanks to "Martin" being here last week and explaining geocaching to the guide, he knew what I ("One of those sign hunters") was looking for. Here is a picture of a gator alongside the boat. TFTC!
Wow! what an AWESOME experience! I've always wanted to visit the swamp down here, but guess what? it took geocaching to finally get me here. The guide was great, and he asked me to explain it all to him and the others on the boat. Thanks for the cache! #6773 ((([:D])))
Took the 90 minute boat tour courtesy of Okefenokee Adventures. Saw quite a few gators & Hank the Heron. Also walked the boardwalk & climbed the tower - great view. Will add a picture later when I find the camera cable.
This is the first of a 3 day paddling vacaction in GA &FL. My nephew and I saw four gators (wonder how many saw us). This is a great paddle and I plan to come back and do an extended paddling trip in cooler weather. TFT[:)]
Three wooden canoes going into the Swamp for three days of camping and canoeing. Found the cache on the way into the Swamp. Had a great time and appreciate the cache to add to our enjoyment. TFTF.

Ocmulgee Heritage Trail by Amazingracer, Virtual Cache (1.5/2)
Ocmulgee Heritage Trail
Ocmulgee Heritage Trail:
I'm currently talking with the Bibb County Department of Parks and Recreation to let me place a cache along the greenway.
As part of the NewTown Macon Project this 1.6 mile (one-way) trail is part of the planned trail up to the old water plant and maybe even Juliette but who knows when it will be finished and is a welcomed attraction to this site. Once merely a simple gravel boat ramp used to launch The Great Rubber Ducky Race (you locals know you remember that) and nothing but sand everywhere else this trail is a nice improvement to the area. Hopefully more will be done to create a "river-walk" atmosphere such as maybe adding a shop or restaurant or two along the back edge of the trail up next to the interstate, then this place would become highly popular among tourists and locals. It would also be a great place to place a cache or two.
Due to the many different answers for lights got, to get your smilie you must take a picture of yourself at each end of the trail. For the north end you must have you, GPS, I-16 overpass, river and Rose Hill Cemetery (yes its possible, if you cant figure it out read the hints) and at the south end you need you, GPS, the road bridge, river and the Park across the way. The hike round trip is about 3.2 miles. And if you don't mind the extra .2 mile walk you can walk to Gateway Park across the river and log another find. However you it possible for those who know a thing or three about the trail and local roads you can get your pictures without doing hardly any walking!!
Happy Hunting!
[To take the north end picture do this] Stand where the median would be if I-16 wasnt elevated. Have your photographer stand under I-16 westbound and they will be able to line it up to get you, the bridge and everythingelse.
The dawg's techno-challenged so there are no pix - but I've seen the water go from a trickle to a torrent over the past two months. TFTS!
We had a great time finding the right spots and trying to get everything in. At the South end, there is just too much vegetation to get everything, but we got it pretty close. It was pouring down rain. Thanks for the cache! #6756 ((([:D])))
We enjoyed our walk around the river today. It is beautiful here. When we arrived there was some sort of jewish celebration going on in the river. We completed our walk to both ends of the river. Pics will be uploaded tonight. Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful park...... [8D]
I really enjoyed my run/walk on this trail. I was amazed how many people where on the trail this evening. Each and every person I passed smiled or waived a hello. It was really a happy experience. Thanks for the fun cache. [:)]
Nice trail and would have even been better in the daylight. I did see a couple in the river though and several people in the park and trails late. TFTC!

Gateway Park by Amazingracer, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Gateway Park
Gateway Park:
This little park is part of the NewTown Macon Project. How odd though this park is part of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail yet it is on the wrong side of the river?!?!? Well the original plan was to have this park as the gateway to the 13 mile greenway. Norfolk Southern was asked to move their railroad to the otherside of the river meanwhile Macon built this park and NS decided not to move the railroad so this is the gateway to the muddy waters. This little park has a fountain for kids to play in an overlook to the river and stairs leading to the river's edge (literally). One down side is there is no parking provided so when you go to the park you could park across the river at the trail and walk across the bridge or park at some of the gas stations nearby.
To log the cache you will need to travel to the cords, where you will discover the overlook. On the ground of the overlook there are bricks forming a ______ that surround a beige ______. Tell me what shape this is. Also you will need to go to these cords N32 50.305 W083 37.289 and tell me what year is written on the notebook or take a picture of yourself and your GPS with the statue.
Happy Hunting!
Statue's on your left. Object can be seen from above unless covered with mud.
Took pictures of Otis but overlook was covered in mud, took picture as proof. TFTC
Unable to see what shape was on the ground of overlook due to it being covered in mud from recent flooding. Took pics of this and second half of cache!! Great place for a virtual! Cache on!!
Out on a middle Georgia numbers run with BRIPOD. Good week end to cache with a great friend. Thanks for having an active cache. Day one was full of streaks. Thanks for being part of the positive streak of finds!
Wow! What wonderful weather we had today! Down here from the Athens area with BoogerHill doing a little caching. We've enjoyed all the caches that we've found but it seems as if we've missed about as many too... We came down last night and stayed in Macon, now in Warner Robins to kick back for the evening. Hopefully the weather and caching will be as good tomorrow! Thanks for all the wonderful hides! We've really enjoyed the history in the area too! Happy Caching y'all... peace

*required email for completion of the logging requirements will be sent when I get home. Thanks again for the Virt!
Enjoyed the history lesson. Email on the way.

The Eye of the Needle by Yellow Jacket, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Eye of the Needle
This is a cache which is one part of three caches.
Please don't go on Private Property for this cache. The object of this cache is to aquire the latitude portion of the "Mini Coin Exchange" (GCB163) cache. To get credit for this find you must "E-mail" to me the "CLUE" found at the location.
"Congratulations on finding the hidden text! We have EYES but we can't see! Just look down and think in a horizontal way. You will need a trig calculator for this one.
Look for a hidden message on the cache page!
Pretty sure we found what we were supposed to find, but with issues. Emailing owner.
I grew up near Tucker, had plenty of friends on Midvale, and never knew there was a graveyard here. I get the feeling that, as I keep looking for YellowJacket caches, I'm going to find a lot of graveyards. Well, anyway, couldn't find anything today, though I thought I had the gist of what I needed to look for. Guess not.
Gave it another go toady and once again came up empty. I climbed through the brush/leaf piles and looked everywhere I could think of, but after 30 minutes I decided to get a few more hints before continuing the search. I'll swing by and try again next time I'm in the area since this is one of the only virtuals in this part of the state that I haven't found.
I wasn't sure exactly what the clue entailed, since I didn't have the other caches' descriptions with me. I searched for a while then took notes of anything I could think of, but was later notified that I had missed the target. I'll return with a camera either next week or next month when I pass through the state again.
Found on a day caching with J9 and LynnTB! e-mail sent.
Second one for today and the second leg of a Yellow Jacket threefer. After going back to the car for my brian (it's required to figure out the the coordinate for Mini Coin Exchange), I located the cache with relative ease. I traded confusion and bewilderment for knowledge and contentment. Another great cache!

Rose Park Labyrinth by Amazingracer, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Rose Park Labyrinth
Rose Park Labyrinth:
They say labyrinths and mazes are a way of finding yourself, this explains why they are all over the world from church floors to the one in Rose park. Dedicated to the citizens of Macon, the labyrinth was funded by the city of Macon and the Medical Center Of Central Georgia. To get your log either take a picture of yourself, GPS, and you with the labyrinth in the back ground and post it with your log or email me the date (Month, Date, And Year) the labyrinth was dedicated.
Happy Hunting!
Out on a middle Georgia numbers run with BRIPOD. Good week end to cache with a great friend. Thanks for having an active cache. Day one was full of streaks. Thanks for being part of the positive streak of finds! Thanks for a great cache!
Found. Very cool cache we all walked the labyrinth and "meditated" as the sign suggested.
This is our first real visit to downtown Macon & we fell in love with it. This small park is different & fun. Too bad its dedication was overshadowed by the tragic events the previous month. Never forget! TFTC
Found this with scoot922 on a crazy cache day in Macon. Beware of the homeless man's blanket in the bushes next to the cache. CACHE ON!!!

Murder in Coweta County by ejldixie & Felicia, Virtual Cache (2.5/1)
Murder in Coweta County
This is a SIX part virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt anytime of the year. Read the book or view the movie "Murder in Coweta County" and you will relate to these famous people and places.
To confirm your find, please e-mail me (DO NOT POST) the poem at the final cache.
Murder in Coweta County is a true story based on a murder that was calculated to begin when the courthouse clock struck twelve. In her own words author Margaret Anne Barnes states, “That in 1948 Georgia’s Meriwether County law enforcement was dominated by the wealthy, influential land-baron John Wallace. If he figured a man needed killing that was reason enough. William Turner, his white sharecropper tenant had given him reason, he had stolen two of Wallace’s cows. Wallace chased Turner down and killed him in front of eight eyewitnesses, threw his body in a deserted well and figured that was the end of the Turner affair.
Wallace’s fatal mistake: in chasing Turner down, he crossed the Meriwether County line into adjoining Coweta County, the domain of Sheriff Lamar Potts, a determined, dedicated law man who believed in even-handed justice. To prevent discovery, Wallace forced his two black field hands to help him burn Turner’s body and throw the ashes into a nearby stream thus destroying corpus delicti and thereby prosecution.
Sheriff Potts continued his relentless pursuit of Wallace, with the help of a local fortune-teller, finding enough burned bone chips in the stream to establish corpus delicti and brought Wallace to justice in court. This landmark case in Georgia history is the first time that the testimony of two black field hands convicted a man of such prominence to death in the electric chair in November 1950.”
Part one: Travel to the cache coordinates. This is where the famous trial took place and John Wallace was sentenced to die in Georgia’s electrical chair. If you are at the cache co-ords, there should be a statue in front of you. This stature was erected in ????. Take the date, multiply it by the number of eyes on this statue and subtract 447 to find the North heading. To find the West heading take the date and add 2906.
N_ _ _ _.213
W084 _ _. _ _4
Part two: You are here! This was the man who brought John Wallace to justice. You will notice that he has a first, middle, and last name. His first name has how many letters? Multiply that number by 6 to find the next North co-ords. Take the total number of letters in his name and add 35 to find the West co-ords. Be real careful at your next stop, as the super-natural are watching you.
N33 2_ ._17
W08_ _1.963
Part three: Take plenty of pictures, but do touch anything lying on the ground or disrupt the site! Next to this cache is the mother whose initials are E. H. L., and the father whose initials are J. W. B. L.
Take the birth date of the mother and add the month, day, and year together. Subtract 210 from that number to find the North co-ords. Next take the year J. W. B. L was born and add 2748 to find the West co-ords.
N33 _ _._ _5
W084 _ _._ _9
Part four: This is where it happened…the murder. The chase ended here when William ran out of fuel. John clobbered William on the head with a pistol in the parking lot of the Sunset Inn. Not much left here now. There is a highway sign at the intersection where two US highways meet for a short time. Take the lowest number of the two and insert it in the West co-ord below. Take the higher number and subtract 11 to fill in the North co-ords. Now drive south.
N33 0_._02
W084 4_._63
Part five: You should be standing in front of an older building where William was jailed for a short time. The main exterior material used in the construction is ? Add the letters together that spell the material, and multiply that times the number of open arches on the front corner of the building. Do not count the arched windows on the 3rd floor. Take that number and add 32 to find the next North co-ords. Use that same number and add 31 to find the West co-ords.
N32 _ _.020
W084 _ _.084
Look down at the good earth. There is the man, who in the 1940s ruled this county. Justice was by death on November 3, 1950 in Georgia’s electrical chair.
After John’s death his wife, a good woman, worked for many years at a local department store in LaGrange.
And life goes on…
Restrooms available
Hint: This cache will cover about 80-100 miles of west Georgia “back roads” and will take several hours to complete. At one of the sites, and you will know which one, you may view some strange objects left by others. Warning: Do not touch anything! Terrible things have happened to those who have vandalized the site. Precious memories and pictures are all you can take.
Because of time and distance, the cache trail is not in order with the sequences in the movie.
The last cache is located near one of Georgia’s most popular attractions, so be sure and visit the surrounding area. Have fun!
Murder in Coweta county will be shown at the Wadsworth Aud. in Downtown Newnan On Aug. 1 2009 this is all I know at this point.
who would've thought-- that we'd end up here. thanks for the lesson now I need to ebay the movie. TFTC
I've wanted to do this virtual ever since I started geocaching back in July. But I said I wouldn't do it until I either watched the movie again or read the book. I finally had to settle for reading the book. I still haven't found anyone around here that has the movie, or can find it, and a copy of the book was almost as difficult to put my hands on.
It took me 2 days to complete the journey. I found the first 3 stages on February 18th and the other 3 today. I had a really great time with all 6 stages. One day soon I'll get to do it all again after jb10bo reads the book.
Thanks for bringing this fascinating story to life and TFTC!!!!
Let' see. We started this back in March and finally finished today. Thanks for the history tour. I still haven't read the book. Email on the way.
Found stages 1 and 2 today. Makes me want to read the book!

Lakebottom Time by JackBQuick & Family, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Lakebottom Time
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
This is a popular park for walkers and joggers, very near Columbus High School. As I was jogging one day I noticed a timepiece that looked old and un-maintained. However, I have noticed that it continues to keep great time each time I visit. Upon closer investigation, I realized that it has a unique power source.
Please email me the power source for the clock AND the year the clock was dedicated for credit of the find, as well as your entry below. Please do not post your answer in your log. Your entry will be deleted without the email.
Cache On!

Noble Monument by The VNI Venturers, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Noble Monument
Monument to Noble Jones, former owner of Wormsloe Plantation.
This marker was placed in 1875 at the original burial site of Noble and Sarah Jones, along with their youngest son, Inigo. The remains were moved to the Colonial Cemetary and later to Bonaventure. Take your time and enjoy this beatiful State treasure. Email me with the shape of the marker and your find will be secure.
A really interesting place! Thanks for this virtual.

Ghetto Stonehenge by the fisherKings, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Ghetto Stonehenge
A curious structure in an urban location in Atlanta.
A guy I work with lives in this area and affectionally calls this place the Ghetto Stonehenge. I have no idea what the point of these structures might be or what they are supposed to represent....maybe you have an opinion. Please share.
Please feel free to park like the locals mostly do...along the wide shoulder of the road on the bridge (facing west toward the city). You may not even have to get out of the car to answer our question, but it may raise the difficulty level a tad.
**YOU MAY NOT WANT TO DO THIS CACHE IN THE DARK. DAYLIGHT HOURS RECOMMENDED.**
Here's the question:
How many "standing stones" are there in this Ghetto Stonehenge? Please E-mail us the answer to verify your find. No answers in your log please. Pictures and discussion are encouraged.
Found it with the wife and kids. Really good restaurants nearby.
The answer will follow. I went to this cache about 7:00pm, therefore it was dark and I couldn't take the picture. It was a strange "formation", I wonder what inspired someone to place it there.
An unusual virtual, I don't know what they are for. TFTC
Thx for showing this remarkable spot. Email sent. TFTC
What an interesting structure. Thanks fro bringing us here.
Our second cache for the day, we made several passes to get our count. Our theory is that it's secret is probably revealed when viewed from the air, we checked a satellite photo but are still perplexed. Although I am beginning to think it's purpose is psychological: I get a feeling of contentment just knowing that it is there and that we have visited it! Thanks again Sushi.

Big Silver Bird Watching by Ramness570, Virtual Cache (2/1)
Big Silver Bird Watching
Virtual Cache near Hartsfield Airport.
My first virtual cache! I recently found this great little spot to sit and watch the planes land and takeoff at Hartsfield. Yes I am easily amused! Took me awhile but I finally found a spot along the fence with nearby parking that wasn’t fenced in and with a great view of the runway. Also there is a restaurant across the street if you would prefer to chow down while watching the planes.
There area no signs posted to indicate you can’t stand and watch the planes from here, but you will need to park in the parking lot near N33 39.209 W084 24.664.
To indicate that you found the area email me with the number of large rocks stacked together between the viewing area and the parking lot. Please do note post this information in your logs or it will be deleted.
What a fun virtual cache!!!!! Jb10bo and I went by today to watch the planes take off. It was a perfect day too.........not a cloud in the sky. Thanks for sharing. And TFTC!!!!
It was a good view of the take offs. I ate my lunch while enjoying view! TFTC!
Cool view of the runway area! Answer to follow.

very cool spot...TFTC!
Found this one pretty easily as it is near work. Had the number of stacked rocks and emailed the contact with the answer but never heard back. I'm claiming it anyway [;)].
Found it easy enough, really great place to watch them land, at least that's all they did when I was there. Thanks for the hunt.

Brooke Rifle Cache by bigmikemey & "Neo" the geo dog., Virtual Cache (1/1)

Tragedy by Trez003, Virtual Cache (1/3.5)
Tragedy
This cache is to honor the people who lost their lives in a tragic
plane crash on Springer Mountain. What you are looking for is a
brass plaque in memory of these loved ones. While at this site
please observe a moment of silence in their honor. To log this
cache you need to e-mail me. How long the plane was on the mountain
before it was removed This location is on the approach trail to
Springer Mountain from Amicalola. It is about half way up the trail
or about 4 miles. You do not have to leave the trail. Now if you
want an EZ way, you can find the right FS road and drive all the
way to this location with any SUV. I would not try it in a normal
car mostly because of ground clearance but you might be able to.
The drive is very beautiful with great views.
The FS road you are looking for is an approach from the east side. Not from amicalola.
We took the easy way to the cache and drove up the forest road. When we got to the cache site there was a compact 2 wheel drive car there with nearly no ground clearance, but that doesn't mean the road up there doesn't have its dangers. Photos of danger and email of answer to come. Thanks for the cache!
Went off-roading with some friends that have Jeep Wranglers. I have a full size, 4 door, F-250 4X4. We took the FS road from the Falls. All was fine up to the service road to the Hike Inn. After that, it's advised to have a Jeep or a short wheel-base SUV with significant ground clearance to navigate around mud holes and over substantial boulders. It was a challenge with the long wheel base of the F250. It took quite some time to get to the memorial plaque.
We had a wonderful time working on this virtual cache. It first looked like it was going to be accesible from the NFS road above the falls in the state park, so we went in and paid and walked to the falls. That was great because Kay had never been there, and I had been saying I was going to take the family to see one of the eight natural wonders of Georgia! Then I read the directions, and located the correct road on the map and made the long, slow drive to the cache. It was clear all the way, and I do believe almost any car could make it. It was very neat to go up there and see the plaque. This makes at least four of these kinds of sites that I have been to; all because of geocaching. Thanks for the cache! #6722 ((([:D])))
Found the spot had a great time..with the 5 kids today..
the road was easy in the jeep but any car can get there if you know what road to take..
Amicalola to Fontana Dam hike. Took us from June 12th to June 26th. Not bad for a couple out of shape newbies.
This cache was the first of many on the trail. Kinda cool that someone took the time and effort to make a plaque in rememberence. Kinda sucks that it happended in the first place. EMail on the way.

The Master by A Nord, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Master
This Cache is dedicated to one of Golf’s greatest players - Robert Tyre Jones also known as Bobby Jones.
In the 1920’s also known as the “Golden Age of Sport”, Jones took his place alongside such giants as Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Red Grange and Bill Tilden. He won the U.S. Open four times, the U.S. Amateurs five times, and the British Open three times. He was the first player to win both the U.S. and British Open championships in the same year (1926). He became the only player ever to win a recognized Grand Slam in golf (four major championships in a single year) when he won the U.S. and British Opens, and the U.S. and British Amateurs in 1930. During this span, he also finished second in three U.S. Opens, including twice in 36-hole playoffs by a stroke (1925 and 1928). He led Willie MacFarlane by four strokes with nine holes to go in 1925, but lost when he bogeyed the final hole. In the first round of that tournament, Jones called a penalty stroke on himself when his ball moved a fraction of an inch as his iron grazed the grass.
From 1922 to 1930, the Georgia gentleman dominated golf, birdieing his way into this country's heart by winning nine major championships. He was so popular that he was accorded a ticker-tape parade in New York -- before he won the final two legs of the Slam. While dominating the golf world, he earned his B.A. from Georgia School (now Institute) of Technology, another B.A. from Harvard, and his law degree from Emory.
Adding to the Jones myth was his retirement from competitive golf less than two months after completing the Slam. An amateur throughout his career, he retired from golf in 1930 to practice law. He was 28. Along with Alister McKenzie he designed the Augusta National Golf Course and founded the Masters there in 1934.
No one else has ever won a Slam (for years, the two major amateur tournaments have been replaced by the PGA Championship and the Masters founded by Jones).
Please stop by and visit “The Master”. There is a bench where you can stop and talk over your game with him. Others have come to visit and pay their respects by leaving golf balls by his grave. Be careful not to knock them off their tees (could cost you a penalty stroke).
While you are sitting there, look to your left and see who “WAS FAITHFULL TO THE END” and when they were married. To log the cache you must Email me the answers, by going to the profile at the top of this cache page.
If you do not email me within 5 days...Your entry will be deleted.
This Cemetary is Open from Dawn to Dusk 365 days a year and open to everyone. Pets must be on a leash, cleaned up after and kept away from the headstones. There is no fee and you can park anywhere on the asphalt as long as there is room for another car to get by.
And be sure to stop by the other cache nearby. The Lyin Cache

When we left i told my partner, ppl were supposed to have put golf balls near the grave, she informed me that there were golf balls, i had to go back to see for myself, now how did i miss those balls?!?!?! She left a bus key chain, and i left a couple pistachios i had in my pocket. TFTV
We are here from Wa. visiting my cousin and she brought us here and we had our gps's with us. Neer go anywhere without them. So thaks for the cache

Fallen Soldiers by TinSparrow, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Fallen Soldiers
This site is very close to where I grew up. The town of Jonesboro
has changed through the years, but this has always remained a quiet
spot just off the main road.
Park in the small parking area along Johnson Street (N33 31.832 W84 21.195). The coords for the Virtual Cache will take you to a monument in the middle of this small cemetary.
This civil war cemetary contains several hundred graves of unknown Confederate soldiers, in addition to a small handful of marked graves. These confederate forces died on the battlefield or in hospitals, all casualties of the Atlanta campaign of 1864. More information can be found here.
Clustered around this monument there are 6 marked graves. A seventh marked grave lies 30 paces to the North.
To receive credit for this cache, you must email me the answers to the following questions:
1. What was the rank of David Paxton Rymer?
2. What was the rank of Robert H. Lindsay?
3. What army did Agnatius F Brooke fight with?
4. What place of business is across the street?
Please be respectful on this hallowed ground. These young men were swept up and gave their lives in the great struggle of their time.
Another significant Civil War virtual cache can be found here: Turning Point. This cache is a bit of a drive from where you find yourself now, but you may want to put it on your list.

Tybrisa Walk On The Water by Eswau, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Tybrisa Walk On The Water
This cache area dates back to 1891, try and imagine the atmosphere and the view 100 years ago.
As you start the walk towards the posted coordinates (you'll know when you get there) look towards the right and read the plaque. It tells a short history of the land your standing on. After you read this, you'll have a short walk to the coordinates.
To get credit for this find, email me the answer to this question. What is each person limited to two of? Please don't post your answer in your log entry.
Unrelated to this cache, but if you have a few extra minutes, visit the building to the right as you leave. It's an educational facility and charges $1 for admission. Update (10/07) Admission is now $4.

The Path by A Nord, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Path
I was driving to the Flea Market in Pendergrass to buy Ammo Cans of course and I saw this beautiful work of art. As I approached it I realized it was very fitting for a cache. It is the centerpiece to the EAGLE SCOUT BRICK WALK / PLAZA presented by the Northeast Georgia Council Boy Scouts of America to distinguish and honor this special group of Scouters. The Plaza features an Eagle statue and a walkway consisting of bricks with the names of Eagle Scouts that represents “The Path” an Eagle Scout chooses.
Now since I’m neither a Boy nor a Scout, I needed to find out what being an Eagle Scout was all about. I went to the Boy Scout of America website (scouting.org) and here is what I found out.
The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service. The award is a performance-based achievement whose standards have been well-maintained over the years. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 4 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1911. To earn the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. Although many options are available to demonstrate proficiency in these areas, a number of specific skills are required to advance through the ranks—Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and Eagle. To advance, a Boy Scout must pass specific tests that are organized by requirements and merit badges.
We all have come across Eagle Scout Projects while geocaching. These projects even make our geocaching adventures a more pleasurable experience. The Bridges at the Jones Bridge Caches, the trail for The New Manchester Manufacturing Company Cache, and the picnic area at the B.S.A. T-757 Cache just to name a few.
This Eagle Project is available to honor all Eagle Scouts of any age and from any Council. So if you would like to have a brick placed in memory or in honor of an Eagle Scout, an order form can be picked up at the Scout store located inside the building.
To claim this cache please email me (by clicking on the profile button at the top of the page and select email this user) the Telephone number that appears on the Sculpture. Bonus points for the artists names.

I found it but bushes around are all grown big and beautiful. It is hard to get close enough to read the number so I wrote down what it looks like it might be. The weather has worn the numbers down and impossible to see the artist! It was beautiful though and a beautiful day for caching. Thanks for posting this so I could learn about this beautiful site.
With both of us having childhood memories of scouting, we have been looking forward to this virtual. It has been in our "To Do" folder for over a year. Had a nice day of caching up in the area and this was one of our favorites of the day. Note to future cachers - unless you have Eagle Eyes, you may want to take your binoculars to help get the answer. Thanks for keeping this virtual going and showing us the path of the Eagle Scout. Answers on the way...
Thanks for bringing me here; I have wanted to do this one for a long time; email on the way and you have encouraged me to do all of the virtual caches; I am excited about that; TFTF

Heads Up! by AndymanD, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Heads Up!
Years ago, while on a motorcycle ride, I stumbled across this location and have been back several times since to enjoy the view.
While this virtual cache is accessible at any time of the day or night, try to drop by on a weekend when the sun is out, the weather is clear, and the wind is blowing from the north, east, or anywhere in between. (At other times, you will probably be left yawning, wondering why you're there.)
Parking should not be a problem, but please remember that you are a visitor.
(Note added 04/16/2003: A fellow geocacher's brother-in-law works at the adjacent business and he said that folks are always parking in the business' lot to watch what there is to watch. However, he also said that they keep a watchful eye out for people with little gadgets who may be timing things coming and going or taking pictures and that they do tend to notice the visitors more now, considering that terrorists have trained nearby. While I can't imagine that your being noticed would spoil your fun, please be aware that you may be observed while you are observing and that it's possible that you may be asked to explain your presence.)
Okay, on with the quiz:
Park your vehicle.
Look toward the southeast.
1) There is a water tower which consists of an elevated tank and some number of vertical support-type elements. How many such elements are there?
2) What color is the tank?
Use the profile link up top to e-mail me your answers; DO NOT post your answers in your log -- encrypted or not.
PS- Borrowing from Trailerman's log entry, please keep sterile logs sterile so that future visitors enjoy the surprise. Thanks!

If you're decrypting this, I'd be willing to bet that you're there on a weekday and/or the weather is yucky. Come back on a weekend when the sun is shining. If it IS a weekend and the sun IS shining, hang in there; I bet you'll like what you see/hear.
Stopped by on the way home from work...again. Been by here before and enjoyed what there is to enjoy. TFTS
On my way out with the kids and geo-newf to find some other caches and decided to knock this one out on our way! Got an early start, so things were slow, but did get to see some activity while there.
Thanks!
Found this virtual today but plan on going back since it's nearby and we obviously did not see the surprise. Answers to the quiz are on the way. TFTC
My apologies for the delay in logging and the copy-paste.
Really enjoyed this one; email on the way; TFTF
Not too much activity at 5:30pm on Saturday, but enough to make the trip worthwhile (that and the great sunset). Kids even enjoyed the stationary vehicles. Thanks for the easy smiley.

Chieftains Trail - Fort Mountain by Penny & Chaos, Virtual Cache (1/2)
Chieftains Trail - Fort Mountain
Dogs Allowed Restricted hours Fee area
The Chieftains Trail was designated by the 1988 Georgia General Assembly a state historic trail for the purpose of preservation, promotion and commemoration of Northwest Georgia's Native American heritage. The Chieftains Trail guides travelers to nine public sites representative of the Indian cultures which once thrived here in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. These sites showcase the pre-historic, Cherokee and Creek cultures. Four cities, Dalton, Ellijay, Marietta and Rome are designated Gateway Cities where travelers are welcomed from the north, east, south and west respectively.
Fort Mountain State Park, Chatsworth, derives its name from an ancient rock wall measuring 855 feet in length that stands on the highest point of the mountain. The ancient wall is thought to have been built by Indians as a ceremonial center over a thousand years ago. Located in the Chattahoochee National Forest close to the Cohutta Wilderness area, the park offers picnicking, camping, cottages, swimming, hiking, and splendid views of the mountains for visitors traveling the Chieftains Trail.
To claim credit for this cache, email me the number of wooden steps that lead to the first landing on the tower and the number of benches surrounding the tower.

Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” by epop, Virtual Cache (1.5/1.5)
Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon”
Visitors are amazed at the breathtaking colors of Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon.” The rare Plumleaf Azalea and other wildflowers, as well as the pink, orange, red and purple hues of the soft canyon soil, make a beautiful natural painting at this unique park. Visitors can enjoy views of the canyons from the rim trail, and backpackers can stay overnight along the backcountry trail.
An interpretive center explains how the massive gullies (the deepest being 150 feet) were caused by erosion due to poor farming practices in the 1800s.
At the interpretive center there is a Yellow sign. To find the cache e-mail me the answer and tell me what the sign is cautioning you to watch out for.
This is a really neat place to come and visit. If you have kids bring them along they will have fun also.
Epop
Great day at the park...beautiful place!
Found this one. Saw this place in Southern Living so we decided to visit. A great place. If you go down in the canyon, take a walk to canyons 4 and 5 at least. It is out opinion that these are the best down there. TFTH. Required email sent.
Spend a few hours wandering in and around the canyon. Wonderful sights and a great time was had by my son and I.
On our way to camp at Florence Marina SP..enjoyed this cache experience..TFTC

credit for this easy cache. You MUST take your picture with your
GPSr in front of THE HOUSE.
on a trip to GA with my husband (philflyboy) and cached our way down and back.

my wife and I are caching our way from PA to GA for a wedding. We have enjoyed lots of cool hides, pretty scenery and met some very nice people.
staying in this area while attending the wedding. Enjoyed some cool sites in this state
What a fantastic place!! This is so cool looking!
We will be home tonight and able to download the picture. We love geocaching and virtuals it is the only way we would have been able to see this
We had heard about this place, now we've seen it! Thanks for taking us to the White House.
Glad I have passed by here a lot when I lived over that way. A quick cache at night to keep the consecutive days going and check one more GA virtual off my list! I saw something recently in the news that the owner was about to lose this but raised the cash to keep it.. glad he did because the way it is kept up so well, it's the kind of tacky we can all be proud of! And it is a little bit cool, too.
Hal and I were on our way home from a hotel opening and stopped by to get this virtual.
This would be Zachary's first first. We had to go to Toy R Us down the road and decided to hit this one first. It was 9:03 am when we pulled up. Took a few pictures and headed off for the store and the elusive 1984. Thanks Yellow Jacket for another unique cache.

Never Forget by Liz and Brian, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Never Forget
This cache needs no description, just go visit it!
To claim, email me the number of stars (the number is not what you would think it would be). Make sure you are counting the 9/11 cache and not the stars on the other nearby cache. This will make sense when you get there and find the cache along with the one that is right beside it!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The city of Kennesaw moved the item you are viewing for this virtual cache. It is RIGHT down the street now. Thanks to joerunner for letting us know that it was moved. Until I can post the new coordinates, joerunner sent us directions so that anyone seeking this cache can easily find it. Here are the directions and THANKS joerunner!!!
DIRECTIONS:
From the old spot (which is totally vacant by the way), drive .2 miles North to the center of Kennesaw. Park at any at the various downtown locations. I would use the coordinates from "The Great Chase #1 (virtual cache)" to locate this. It is basically 30 feet away. Those coordinates are N 34° 01.424 W 084° 36.910. Another yummy restaurant (Trackside Grill) is across the road.

Visited and found this nice cache with jgooose on 10-31-09, the 7th day of my caching trip. We had a great time hunting caches in the area. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find. Orale! Live, laugh, love, cache.
Thanks for bringing us here; email on way;
Had a fantastic day caching with the MoonPatrol on a very rainy Saturday. We had a great time looking for your caches, getting wet and laughing with each other. Thanks for hiding and maintaining these caches for us. Many thanks also to those who helped create this day and organize us toward being successful. Today was a personal best for Msalisbury and I as we beat our old one day record of 52 and hit 60 on this fun-filled and rainy day. Oh, did I mention that it was raining all day?
Caching in the Marietta/ Acworth area with the Moon Patrol (Bripod, Nanastone, Railroading) and RustyG on a rainy saturday afternoon. Emailed owner the answers to the question. TFTH!

Jacks River Falls Photo Op by The Yoyo Man, Virtual Cache (1/3.5)
Jacks River Falls Photo Op
This is a PHOTO CACHE. You MUST BRING A CAMERA.
The coordinates above take you to Jacks River Falls. From the parking area, you will hike ~3.4 miles along Beech Bottom Trail to reach the falls. In order to get credit for the cache, you must upload at LEAST two pictures of the falls when you post your log. Each of those pictures must be from a different coordinate position. There are four Photo Op coordinate positions to choose from:
If you wish, you can post more than just two photos, but you must have at least two to get cache credit. Take plenty of pics so you get at least two good ones.
I would have much preferred to place a Traditional Cache, but since traditional caches are banned in the Cohutta Wilderness a virtual is the best I can do. The view of the falls is WELL worth the hike. I recommend getting an early start and making a day of it. Take some sandwiches, snacks, and drinks and have a nice picnic lunch on the rocks as you enjoy the spectacular falls. If COLD water doesn't bother you, then take along your swimming suit too. I look forward to seeing your photos and reading your logs. Have a Fun Hike!
Parking Coordinates: N 34° 59.451 W 084° 35.301
There is a USFS $2 parking fee.
TRIVIA NOTE: On the date this cache was established is Bob Hope's 100th Birthday. Bob Hope (given name, Leslie Townes Hope) was born May 29, 1903 in Eltham, England
I had a wonderful day caching with Sam and Barbara (SIA). It started with them finding 10,000 Friendships (GC1YRE4) for their 10,000th cache, and ending 13 caches later. It was a beautiful day for a hike in the north Georgia mountains. Mostly level paths, beautiful falls and great friends made it all worth the trip here. Thanks for the virtual cache.
What a beautiful place. Thank you so much YoYoMan for bringing us here, otherwise we would have never been aware. It was a perfect day for this hike. The leaves are beginning to change and the weather was just right. We hiked in 3.6 miles with 6 river/creek crossings! We took a shorter route out for a total of 6.4 miles in 4 hours. It really was great fun. We can't thank you enough.
This was the highlight of my day! I loved the drive on the NF road and I started at the Ocoee River and went all the way through to Crandall, GA. Saw a wild sow in the road. Had a great and challenging hike as I was trying to double time it to get along the way to do another cache; BUT, rest assured, when I got to the cache area; I couldn't help but take my time and explore! This is a GREAT area, and I thank you for bringing me here. I was hoping to get all the photo ops today, and I do think I got three of them, but the vegetation up top right now is too heavy to really yield any good shots. Met a lot of hikers today; and a couple of them told me that there was a tornado that tore up one of the nearby camping areas pretty bad. Thanks again for the cache! #6802 ((([:D])))
Very cool location!
-GeoJohn with Troop 6 BSA
Spent the July 4th weekend camping with my friend Guys_Day_Out. Had a great time, got to the falls around 11a.m. and had about an hour all by ourselves. TFTC

A Different Species of Big Silver Bird by GA Cacher & Kat6, Virtual Cache (4/1)
A Different Species of Big Silver Bird
Cache is located in the South Parking. Could be a Fly-by or a Drive-by!
A Hartsfield - Jackson International Airport virtual cache that will probably be easier for travelers than for locals!
After enjoying our visit to Ramness570's Big Silver Bird Watching, we discovered a different species of Big Silver Bird right in the Atlanta Airport. The Cache is located in the South Parking area, where no physical cache could be appropriately placed.
To claim this find, email us with the answer to the following question: The Big Silver Bird has a briefcase. The edge of the briefcase that faces the road is made of two license plates. What states are they from? Do not include your answer, even if encrypted, in your log entry, or your log will be deleted without notice.
OR post a picture with you near the Bird!
If you are interested here is a link to the sculptors webpage Leo Sewell. I spoke to MR Sewell the other day and his vision was of a lost business person with briefcase scurrying to catch a flight like a line of flightless birds in suits, hence penguins.
Important note: This is a security-conscious area. This cache should be easy enough to find, so avoid acting in any manner that might be construed as suspicious behavior. And please... don't even think about parking anywhere that isn't expressly permitted.
Check out the pictures below:
Passengers between flights!
You will have to leave the security area and go to the South Terminal Parking on the lower level. The bird is near the Delta Check-in. Remember to allow time for you to go back through TSA Security!!! Finding this species should be an easy score for anyone arriving or departing on an Atlanta flight.
Locals or Cachers with rental cars.
Locals could easily spot the Big Silver Bird on a drive-by, but it will be nearly impossible to answer the question without leaving your vehicle. There is a picture of how close you can drive too. This area is on the South Terminal lower level check-in, just past Delta Dash, the small freight office.
Also if you want to park to get a picture use the South Terminal Hourly parking, entrance at
and it will cost $1 for an hour.
Too bad Kat6 is standing in front of the answer!
Thanks for visiting my cache!
This statue is now a Waymark! Follow this link and log it here.
This cache was adpoted from Team Tierra Buena
Team Tierra Buena says : "We'd also like to thank the Atlanta area cachers for their Southern hospitality and for all the Geocaching fun we had during our visit. If you're coming out to Arizona, please let us know and we'd be pleased to repay the favor. Happy caching!"

Found it. I had a delay on my flight so I went to find it. Email is on the way. Thanks!
Found this while in the area today on the way back from Stockbridge. The hardest thing to the cache was finding a parking place but then the rest was easy. E-mail is on the way.
Had a longish layover, so thought we'd give this a try. Access to cache was quick and convenient. Statue is adorable and love the artist's story behind it. Thanks for "placing" this! Answers sent.
Fount this bird on the way home - after visiting the Kobelco plant in Calhoun. It took a little searching tofind. Since I was alone, I got a picture of the bird, but I am not in int. I will send the briefcase info as well. TFTH
Made the run for this upon landing and then making the run for Alabama. Cool sculpture, I have been a penguin and try not to wear the suit. Answer on the way. TFTC!

GPS Accuracy Checker by reepicheep, Virtual Cache (2/1)
GPS Accuracy Checker
This is a relisting of the GPS Survey Base Station. This survey
marker is in 'plain sight', but you have to be standing right over
it to see it.
The marker is at ground level and may be obscured by grass. Atlanta Jack saw a USInfrastructure, Inc. survey team use this site as a base station for 1st-order surveys in the local area. They kindly gave him the location of the marker accurate to within "centemeters"! If you want to test the accuracy of you GPS, this is definately the place to do it. If you are interested, post your GPSr make and how far it was off (for enjoyment only, not bias). Email me with the shape and size of the marker. Posted logs without emails to me with a valid answer will be deleted.

Look for faded white paint mark on the curb about one foot to right of No Parking sign when facing Kroger. Go away from street about nine to ten feet.
Cool 'hide!' Grass was indeed covering it, but the fact that it was 9:00pm made it even more difficult. I trusted my GPSmap 60Cx and got to 2 ft 'Distance to Next' and 17 ft 'Accuracy' and stepped on it!

My GPS went to two feet and i felt someting under my feet. Wow! TFTC!
Me and Z cobra were out today and decided to give this one a try. my gps had me at six feet and zcobra was dead on will send description hopefully its the right marker.
I found something pretty quickly but I wasn't sure if it was what I was looking for. I searched a while longer and got a bunch of hoots and hollers from people driving by. I did look pretty amusing poking through the grass on a rainy day right next to the main road. I finally realized what I had found was it. On this rainy and foggy and miserable day, my Garmin E Trex got me to within 6 feet of it. I enjoyed this one. It was one of the harder virtuals I've done. Email on the way.
At first, we was not sure if we had found what we were supposed to find. Then, we realized it has to be. Found within 4 feet of the coordinates with our Garmin 60CSX. Answer on the way. Thanks for the fun virtual!

Answered Prayers by Cave Crawler and NatureGirl, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Answered Prayers
A short walk down a slightly inclined paved path.
This is a simple, virtual cache that will give you a place to pause, relax, and reflect on the sacrifices that were made for this great country.
The coordinates will be off by a few feet, but you will understand why when you visit the site. Read the sign on the left prior to getting the location and you will also understand how this cache got its name. Was it an act of nature or divine providence?
To prove you've been here, please e-mail us with the verse written below the eagle. Also, pictures of the monuments are worth a thousand words and help us remember the loss of life that occured not only on this hallowed ground, but from battlegrounds and prisons elsewhere.
As with all virtual caches, please do not include this information in your log, as we will delete it. We will also delete your log if we do not receive your email in a timely manner.
Note that the gate is open 8 AM - 5 PM.
For the twenty-first century traveler the water is cold to the touch, but not fit for human consumption.
We were visiting the museum today. Didn't intend to find a cache here... am glad I checked my phone before leaving! Thanks for the cache -- I probably wouldn't have walked down to visit this spot if it weren't for the cache. Very interesting spot. I've been to Andersonville before, but I always learn something new when I come back.
This was our first visit to this part of Georgia. The park was very thought provoking and the museum's film brought me to tears. TFTC
Very emotional experience. Email is on the way.
Very depressing, what man does to man. The area is beautiful and the presentation welldone. Did the audio car tour - very well done. Email on it's way.

Lone Eagle by tarvol_2000, Virtual Cache (1/1)
Lone Eagle
This part of the country was an unlikely place for what took place here in 1923. Not unlikely in what happened at that time, but its link to what would happen four years later. Destiny would turn the visit of an unknown man into the first step of a journey that would become one of the most momentous events of modern history. An event that would forever make his name known. To claim credit for this cache email me the answer to the following questions:
1. What year did the sculptor sign the sculpture?
2. What is the name of the first individual person listed as a contributor?
3. The three wall benches surrounding the memorial are divided into a total of how many subsections (some are smaller than others)?
The memorial sculpture is an inspiring one that many will not expect to find in this place. Do not post your answers on the cache site, nor pictures of the memorial. The unexpected sight of it is worth the visit. An email to me of pictures of the memorial showing you there will be welcomed.
His Spirit carried man's dreams across the ocean and beyond.
We are visiting from New Hampshire and have been fascinated about all the history in this area. TFTC
Enjoyed this cache. E-mail and picture is on the way. Thanks for the history lesson!
Great Virtual visted today with a fellow cacher.
email on the way. nice stop along the way.
Neat piece of history here. Email and pic will be emailed to you tonight.

The Bishop General of the Confederacy by ejldixie, Virtual Cache (1/1)
The Bishop General of the Confederacy
This is a historical virtual cache. Enjoy this hunt any time of the year. Please respect the surrounding property. Pull off the road at the top of the hill and walk ON THE TRAIL to the cache. Pack it in, pack it out! To confirm your find, please e-mail me the General’s name and the 5 letter word, near the top, on the North side of the cache.
My father was a Colonel in the American Revolutionary War, as was my maternal grandfather. I was an American Episcopal Bishop and Confederate general in the Civil War, b. Raleigh, N.C. I left the army to study for the ministry and was ordained in 1831. I served as Missionary Bishop of the Southwest (1838–41) and Bishop of Louisiana (1841–61) and was the principal founder of the Univ. of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. (1857). In the Civil War I became a major general (June, 1861) in the Confederate army and was at first engaged in the defense of the Mississippi River. I commanded a corps at Shiloh (Apr., 1862), was promoted to lieutenant general shortly after fighting at Perryville (Oct.), and commanded the Confederate right at Murfreesboro (Dec., 1862–Jan., 1863). I assumed command of the Army of Mississippi (Dec.) and fought in the Atlanta campaign until I was killed by cannon fire (June, 1864) at Pine Mountain, Georgia.
Who am I? Also e-mail me the 5 letter word near the top on the North side of the cache.
Note: location is on private property. The public is welcome to visit the site, but placement of a physical cache here or nearby was not possible.

Email has been sent. Was about to leave because I wasn't sure about walking back to the cache area when Melvin from across the street came out and introduced himself. He walked back to the cache area with us and gave us a little history lesson.
Will email answers soon
What a great spot for a geocache. Right in someone's backyard and there's so much history to it. I truly enjoyed visiting it and thank you so much for placing this virtual cache. Email is on the way with the answers.
Great virtual showing one of our country's historical site.
Thanks for sharing it.
Found this with the WizzardofOddz while caching in the area. Never knew this was here. Met the nicest gentleman, Melvin Dishong, who lives nearby. He gave us a personal tour of the area and a history lesson. This was an added bonus!! Emailed answer to owner. Thanks for the virtual cache.

Note: You will have to visit this virtual if you plan to complete the 'Georgia Virtual Cache Challenge' (GC1V5MP) There are only 93 active virtual caches left in Georgia, and you must log all of them to complete the challenge.
The real reward is the view from this overlook!
This is arguably one of the best views in the NE Ga mountains. This Scenic Highway cuts thru a Mark Trail Wilderness Area, thus no physical caches are allowed here. This view is too good not to share with others. The coords are for a stone marker honoring someone. Use the link above to email me what was the profession of this person. The answer is on the marker. Logs from those that do not send the required answer will be deleted. DO NOT put the answer in your log. Enjoy the view.
Went on a quick little hunting spree around Helen today. There are some great caches in this area! THis is a really amazing view, fer sure. We saw two men sitting there having a heart-to-heart. Seems like a good spot for it. TFTS!
Was indeed a beautiful view.
Nice view. TFTH
While visiting the area from Arkansas, we just had to stop for this virtual. What a great place to take in the view, learn a little history, and stretch our legs. We didn't hit the fall colors at their peak, but there were still some awesome colors here and there. Thank you for the cache, Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl email sent
Found while camping at Unicoi State Park. Thanks for bringing us to this area. My dad emailed the answer for me many months ago and I forgot to log my find until today (11/15).

What Do You See? by Map Reader, Virtual Cache (2/2.5)
What Do You See?
The coordinates take you to two evergreen trees not frequently found in this section of the forest. The trees are about four geometric paces apart. To verify that you found the cache, e-mail me the names of the two trees before you post your log. The objectives of this cache is to test your native tree identification skills and to introduce you to a relatively close-in Atlanta Metropolitan Area park with excellent hiking trails through scenic woods, including lake views. No new physical caches are currently allowed. This is a unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and a three dollar parking fee is required unless you hold an annual CRNRA parking pass. Parking is at Latitude N. 33 degrees 59.079 minutes, Longitude 84 degrees 23.112 minutes. It will not be necessary to leave any of the trails until you are nearly at the cache location.
The National Park Service does not allow bicycles on any trails in this (the Gold Branch) unit of the CRNRA - updated on August 12, 2009.
This cache is one of 93 virtuals in Georgia. There is a Challenge Cache to find all 93 in GA (GC1V5MP).
Perfect day for a hike! Thanks for taking me out to an area I otherwise might not have found. Email sent.
This one has been on my list for a long time. For some reason I never seemed to find a good time to go look for it. Today everything fell in place and it was a great day to take a hike. This was my first time in this park. It has some really nice trails.
I took an indirect route so I was able to walk along the river for a while which I really enjoyed.
Thanks for the fun one and the reason to hike some great trails.
As a reminder, as per one of the icon attributes, the National Park Service does not allow bicycles on any of its trails in this unit of the CRNRA. The soils are considered too fragile.

Very interesting cache and a vigorous mtn. bike ride. Thanks for the cache! #6335 ((([:D])))
We decided to take a hike in the woods on this beautiful February day and find a cache, or two. This was a great hike! Thanks for the cache.

Orienteering with CetusGPS (Paperless) by TheAdventurers, Virtual Cache (3/2.5)
Orienteering with CetusGPS (Paperless)
This cache highlights the advantages of paperless Geocaching. Located inside Stone Mountain Park is a compass orienteering course. I have used the functions of CetusGPS (a great paperless Geocaching program) to turn the orienteering course into a twenty three stage virtual cache. There are two ways to run this course: Using a compass and the data below (or from the sheet provided at the nearby Stone Mountain office) and run the course just as it was originally intended. Or go high tech, load up your GPS and Palm PDA and decide for yourself which method is more accurate. In my opinion the easiest way to do the coarse is to download both CetusGPS and the Orienteering.PDB database, install them on your Palm PDA, connect your GPS and go. Even if you don't connect a GPS to your Palm PDA, Cetus is still great for going paperless! Just take a look at some of the screen shots further down.
The coordinates above are for the starting point for the course, which is on the back side of the stone chimney. Each stage is marked with a pipe painted green or white and sticking out of the ground about two feet. Each pipe is marked with the Bearing and Distance to get to the next marker. There is also a Pacing Marker exactly 100' from marker #1 for hikers to measure their stride on the way to marker #2. I have included the Station, Bearing, and distance data as it appears on the sheet given out by the park:
One thing we noticed when we did the course is that there are three markers that have a distance on them different from what is on the sheet given out at Stone Mountain (I duplicated those differences in the table above). To get credit for this cache you have to email me which three station numbers are different along with the numbers from the markers. The course itself it a little over 1 mile and can actually be completed in just under an hour.
Below are screenshots from CetusGPS, Generating databases can be easily accomplished with GPSBabel
Databases like Orienteering.PDB, and Track Logs like smoc.PDB can be used along with GPS Visualizer to make some great maps!
Look at all the Stone Mountain Caches!
You did bring a compass didn't you? For more fun once you complete the course, see how fast you can run it in reverse!
A unique geocache! I used my GPSr to hunt for these markers. Though I do quite a lot of orienteering, which most folks consider to be a compass sport, I mainly rely on the detailed topographic map provided at an event to help me find the controls set out on my particular course (courses vary from beginner to advanced). At an orienteering meet, the location of each control for each course is depicted pretty precisely on the copy of the topo map provided by the meet director. I kind of felt as if I was orienteering today while I was hunting for these markers. As I was looking around, one marker was standing right beside my foot before I saw it. :-) Thanks for the adventure! E-mail has been sent.

A nice walk, but it was hot today. I jumped some deer along the way. The answers for the cache credit will be emailed in just a bit.
What a great cache. Been meaning to come get this one. Ran the course with Princessg. She used the compass and I used the GPS and we made the whole thing. We did miss one marker and had to double back but Princessg did great with the compass. Thanks for a fun cache on a very hot day!
Enjoyed the hike with my friend today. It's always nice to get out in the nice weather and enjoy the wintery woods. Plus, I wanted to use my compass this time. It was fun!
Finally I got around to finishing this one. I have done bits and pieces of it over the years but today was to perfect of a Day not to hike around in the woods. Geomuse decided to join me even though she has done it already. Kinda Sad yet Glad I finally got this off my to do list. Email sent. Thanks for the nice walk in the woods.
Thanks to yjjohnston for alerting me to the error. The Table on this page was wrong, the number at station 5 should have been 225' not 255'. I corrected the table and it now exactly matches the sheet handed out by Stone Mountain (three differences you have to email me).
