Geocache Description:

Great Cache @ a Great place to stay ! The Tallahatchie Flats located 1 mile from the Robert Johnson Gravesite along the Tallahatchie River (Ode to Billy Joe) & 1 hr. South of the famous Blues Crossroads! Stop in and say "Hey" to Les at the main check-in shack :) Peace Love & Cache ~Tennessee River Gritz

Whether you’re traveling the “ Blues Highway ” in search of the spirits of the early blues legends or just
seeking to escape from the hustle and bustle of the modern world for a bit of
serenity, our old-time farm houses have what you need.

Located 3 miles north of Greenwood, Mississippi on the banks of the
Tallahatchie River (of “ Ode to Billie Joe ” fame) on a Delta cotton
plantation, these two to four-room dwellings are located in a beautiful
landscape, overlooking a bend in the river, and are preserved examples
of the small rural homes that once dotted the Delta countryside where
so many great blues artists were born and raised and wandered. (visit link)

Could Robert Johnson have actually died in one of them?
His grave in the cemetery at Little Zion Church is less than a mile away and
current knowledge is that he succumbed in one of the small houses nearby. (visit link)

So, y’all hitch up the buggy and come on. We’ll leave a porch light on for ya...
