Geocache Description:

Typical cache along an atypical (former) railroad.

From the shelbyfarmsgreenline.org website: The Shelby Farms Greenline is a seven-mile urban trail connecting Midtown Memphis to Shelby Farms Park; the largest park of its kind in the country. Managed and operated by the nonprofit Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, the trail is an incredible community asset that provides new opportunities for recreation, exercise, togetherness,healthy activity, commuting and more. Now connected to Shelby Farms Park’s Wolf River Pedestrian Bridge, the Shelby Farms Greenline allows for miles of new trail routes. The paved trail currently runs from Tillman St. at Walnut Grove Rd. in Midtown to Farm Rd. at Mullins Station Rd. at Shelby Farms Park. There are access points at Tillman St., Highland St., High Point Terrace, Graham St., Waring Rd., Podesta St., Sycamore View Rd., and Farm Rd. at Shelby Farms Park.

 

The new hide is a new container and hidden using a better method this time. Please rehide just as you found it! I am not 100% convinced this container is watertight but it is the best I could find at the time. Please mention if there is any water in the container and I will change it out. Thanks and enjoy the hunt! **Again, please REHIDE as you found it or better. Thanks.

 

***UPDATE*** With the opening of the new Green Line trail there can be a lot of activity around this site. Please try to be discrete and also be careful when leaving the paved trail. P.S. The bridge isn't so scary any more! :(

 

Original text: This is along an abandoned rail line near Shelby Farms. The approach can be tricky. You have to either brave the guards at the local prison or walk across a scary bridge.
