This is one of a
series of
caches located in Haw Ridge Park -- a geocaching park. The
caches are maintained by the
Friends of Haw Ridge
Park in cooperation with the City of Oak Ridge
Recreations & Parks. The park terrain is wooded and hilly,
and the trails rough. You'll need water, trail map, and hiking
shoes. The trails can also be ridden by experienced mountain
bikers. The park is accessible by canoe and sea kayak as well. It
can be hot and humid in the summer. Fall colors abound in late
October, and wild flowers in mid April. The park is closed three
weekends each fall for deer hunts.
The caches are near the
various trails that run through the park, so no bushwhacking is
required or desired. Use one of the trail maps available at the
Haw Ridge
trails page to plan and guide your search. For other caches in
the park click on "Nearby caches" or visit the
Haw Ridge
caches page for an overview of the cache locations and top
geocachers.
Location 1.
The "Green Hill Trio" -- sounds
like a gospel singing group .... The coordinates will take you to a
tall trio on a hill not far from Red Hill. On one of the trio, find
the two digit number that is high above your head. Multiply that
number by 10 and that is the distance in feet to Location 2.
Subtract the smaller digit from the larger digit of the two digit
number and that will give you the position in the alphabet of the
letter that indicates the compass-direction to Location 2. Proceed
to location 2, following the "line".
Location 2.
Here you must again locate a
two digit number. Add that number to the year that Elvis Presley
died. Now add that 4-digit sum to the last four digits
of
N 35°
57.767
Subtact the distance in feet
between Location 1 and Location 2 from the last three digits
of
W 84°
10.465
Now you have the final
coordinates of the cache.
In case you forgot to do your homework, the last two
digits of the year that Elvis died are the sum of the two numbers
you found at location 1 and location 2. |

My first multi-cache, good clues and hiding spot. Carrying a regular compass helped me, though.

In my rush to get out, I didn't read the details of finding the cache. Great view, though and a great day to be out.
