Geocache Description:


This cache has some family history behind it. My Great-Great Grandfather (Bill Spinks) lived back near this spot back in Civil War times and was being hunted by one side or the other (not sure which one, probably Union) to fight in the war. He hid out in this very spot to elude fighting in the war. The troops marched within feet of him while he was hidden but NEVER found him. His wife (Sis) would bring food to a nearby hollow gum tree and he would get it at night. They are both buried in the family cemetary near this cache.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THE HINT UNLESS YOU ARE TOTALLY STUMPED. The only other hint I will give is that it is located on a dirt road off of Muddlety Valley Rd. The name of the cache will help a little (creek). The road is a little rough but a car can easily pass, just be very cautious. It's only a couple hundred feet off the dirt road. There is a fork in the dirt road and the cache can be found using either fork, one fork is closer though. I placed 3 TB's in the cache, but please only take one unless you trade them out with other TB's.
AGAIN, DON'T USE THE HINT UNLESS YOU TOTALLY GIVE UP THE HUNT, IT IS A DEAD GIVEAWAY!!!
