Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

This is one of Asheville's neatest trails right thru downtown to monuments, markers, and history. Easily an enjoyable way to spend a day (and there are other caches around to fill out your list!).
Coordinates will put you in front of a building with the following hours on the door : Tues-Sat 10-5, Sun 1-5, Mon closed. Enter during these hours and get a brochure on the Urban Trail. Walk the entire thing if you have time (& there are guided tours of it on Sat afternoons) and also enjoy the Trolley Tours if you're new in town.

I contemplated a cache on the trail, but communicating with those responsible for the monuments proved that the maintence is regular and frequent & I didn't want to damage some of the neat exhibits along the way. Please respect the hard work they do to keep this open for the public and pick up any trash you find along the way. Local artists, groups, and individual contributions went in to making this one of our special treats for out-of-towners.

Follow the Period "The Times of Thomas Wolfe" and #21 is the one you seek. There is a generator hooked up so when you turn it (which you can do; go on, you know you want to!) it plays sounds from everything on its face. However, to prove you were here answer these two questions.

1) Who is this marker in memory to?
2) What are the 3 creatures pictured on the back?

DO NOT POST ANSWERS; email them to me to get credit.

Enjoy the trail!

Quick find this morning. It was so so cold when we started that we skipped right to the #21. E-mail with the answers is coming shortly.

Out with OzGuff and trying to complete "Festivus For Flowerdoc" during the morning of a beautiful winter day. Nice idea for a series of caches. Answers on the way.

On a quick caching trip with Flowerdoc. All OK here. (Except that the speakers do not appear to be working.)

8:58am #X72. I wandered around at the posted coords until I checked the past logs. I used my phone to get the map and tour info from the internet and found everything I needed. There is certainly a lot of interesting stuff here in town. The answers have been emailed. Thanks for the cache and the fun!

I found this cache on a solo run to the west while aiming for a couple of virtual caches. It was another clear day in the mountains and the views were awesome. This was one of my target caches for the day. When I arrived downtown, there was a lot of activity and No Parking cones EVERYWHERE. I soon would realize that I showed up on the same day as the Christmas Parade... only in Asheville it is called the Holiday Parade (how dumb). I did manage to find parking on a side street and enjoyed walking around downtown among all the people. My email is on the way. TFTC TNLNSL
