Too Much of a Good Thing Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

rcm999: Stopped by to do routine maintenance and discovered it was gone. Either that, or it was placed back somewhere it shouldn't be quite a ways from where it should have been. Anyway, this clears the area for new hides. Thanks to all who hunted.

Geocache Description:

You are looking for the typical small pill bottle. $1 bill FTF prize. Wheelchair friendly. BYOP

Webster defines surplus as "an amount or a quantity in excess of what is needed." In other words, "too much". Have you ever wondered what the State of Tennessee does with its surplus office equipment, vehicles, etc? After the property has been used to or beyond it's life expectancy, when it is just worn out, or when it is damaged beyond repair, it is turned over to Surplus Property Management. There, it will be destroyed or offered to the general public for bid. If you’ve been curious as to how to bid on surplus property, or to get more in depth information, you can go here: (visit link)

This cache was placed in an area adjacent to the State of Tennessee Surplus Property building. The area was at one time to be an access road, but changes in road designs led to this area looking like a lop-sided parking lot. The hard paved surface is utilitzed by workers and the public to not only get to State Surplus Property, but to the Driver’s License office as well. Across Centennial Blvd., you can see the Region 3 offices of TDOT, which also maintains an interest in this particular area.

This cache was placed in a fairly easy spot where you will not encroach on TDOT, Dept. Of Safety, or Dept. of General Services. Not to worry, I am the Surplus Property liaison with TDOT. The front office of Surplus Property knows about this cache, but please don’t bother them for hints.

DO NOT try to access from Centennial Blvd. and DO NOT cross over into the grass. With all that said, it should be a quick P&G. Happy hunting.
