Geocache Description:

Come visit five virtual locations in Morrow Mountain State Park and then grab a large ammo box cache placed a short drive from the Park itself.

Listing of this cache was approved by the Outreach Ranger of Morrow Mountain SP in October 2009. This park also contains three Earthcaches.


 Final cache: N35 19.ABC W80 06.D1F

 A) Start at the Park Entrance, and look at the sign. How many RED arrows are on the sign? (N 35° 22.299 W 080° 05.788, waypoint PR)

B) Drive or walk up to the Summit, and find the plaque dedicated to the park namesake. How many letters are in the first word of the second to last line? The word begins with "C". Why not log the nearby Benchmark when here? :) (N 35° 21.148 W 080° 05.572, waypoint Q1)

C) Find the Kron Residence and read about the good Doctor that lived here. Find the information board about his daughters. What is the last digit in the birth year of the first born sister? (N 35° 22.801 W 080° 04.630, waypoint Q2)

D) Also at the Kron Residence, read about Dr Kron's practices. Rather than lancing, he also used another form of bloodletting beginning with "C". How many letters in this word?

E) Head back down to the Community Building and the Natural History Museum, and pop in. How many hundred centuries did it take for the Carolina Indian "way of life" to develop? (N 35° 22.391 W 080° 04.408, waypoint Q3) Exhibit is down, answer is 1.

 F) So sorry for the double back, but head towards the Boat House and find the Yadkin River overlook, with information about Lowder's Ferry. What is the second digit of the year it stopped operation?(N 35° 22.800 W 080° 03.685, waypoint Q4).

 

From the sign at the Park entrance, you should be about 3.8 miles to the cache final as the crow flies.
