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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
