Team Bear-Cat: After nine years, it is time to retire this one. Still an interesting area but less accessible than before...

Thanks everyone!

Geocache Description:

A neat bit of Rossville's history here.

The town of Rossville (right on the GA/TN line/ adjacent to Chattanooga) is named for Cherokee Chief John Ross who was an early settler, first post master of the town, and 'participant' in the Trail of Tears. His two-story house is at the edge of this little city park, which also features a springs and pond heavily visited by birds, ducks, even sometimes a swan. Moderate Muggle-presence; mostly people feeding the waterfowl.

The John Ross house itself is only open occasionally, and is fenced off. This little cache is outside the fence and available anytime, although technically the park is closed after dusk. Free parking within 100 feet.

The (new 11/24) cache is a small plastic container, state quarters and log-sheet. Please bring your own pen/pencil. Bring a trash bag too; good opportunity for CITO-action, plus that will explain why you're walking around where you are, with your back to house...
