Geocache Description:


 

Welcome to the Nonconnah-Bahn Series of Micro Caches

This series of caches is dedicated to a stretch of Shelby County highway that has served many of us well. I am talking about Highway 385 from Memphis to Collierville, also known as "The Nonconnah." If you've ever driven "The Nonconnah," you know that its straight sections of roadway make many want to drive over the posted speed limit on occasion. It is not quite Germany's Autobahn but our "Nonconnah-Bahn" certainly does make the drive to the Southeast part of the county a brisk journey. Our friendly neighborhood law enforcement officers have their favorite spots to hide and catch those speeding law-breakers so beware as you complete this series.

You may complete this series in any order but I would suggest you start at the Collierville end (NB #1) and work your way back toward Memphis as the easier ones are closer to the Memphis side. These are not exactly your basic "Park and Grab" caches but do not involve bushwacking (well, one has a little bit). They are a little harder than the average lamp post hide or basic magnetic key holder cache (most are, anyway). Different containers and techniques have been used to make completing the series a little bit of a challenge while still making it possible to complete the series in one trip.

If you do choose to complete the series in one trip, time yourself and post the results in your log. Of course, if you stop to grab other nearby caches (nothing wrong with that), your time will be off but, hey, your list of finds will be plentiful.

These are all micro caches so make sure to have your own pencil to sign each enclosed log. There is no opportunity for trade items in this series but keep an eye out for my ammo can series (coming soon) if you have some swag to trade.

THE CACHE

Houston Levee Road Exit: The cache was orginally in another location with another GC number (GCWBWW which has been archived because the old location no longer exists). You are looking for a silver pill container containing only a log. Parking is ample. Enjoy!
