Geocache Description:

A few hundred feet from parking. Hidden in 180 year-old stone furnace stack in Clark Creek area of Cherokee National Forest.

Clarksville Iron Furnace was built in 1833. The ore was hauled in wagons across the mountain from the mines in Bumpass Cove. The iron was used locally and also flat-boated down the river as far as Alabama.

You are looking for a plastic bottle, containing a log, small tradeables, etc. Bring a pen!

The area is accessed via TN HWY 107. Parking is available at Sally Hole, N36º08.964, W082º31.688.

NOTE: While searching for the cache, a couple of cachers have found an old cache nearby dated 2005 from the Fawver Family.

FTF honors goes to DMFLYER!
