Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small container about the size of a sandwich. Inside you'll find a log book. But, BYOP to sign with. The contents include a matchbox car, a $1.00 bill and a trackable. The sign is wheelchair accessable but the cache is not. This is a pull off area with enough parking for at least 2 cars. Since this location is so close to the road, I dont recommend for young children. The cache is near the edge of the bank but you wont need to go to the edge.

For you history lovers like me...
Here is just a brief bit of the info you will find on the sign located here. Take time to read the entire sign. I didnt know it was here but glad I came across it.

Arthur I. Leet was a Methodist clergyman who also had widespread commercial interests. He established a mill and a large tanyard near the spring before the war.
These facilities were widely used by local citizens and became a landmark that was used by both armies during the Chickamauga Campaign.

CONGRATULATIONS Cachemasterleroy87 & Violethorse84 for FTF!!
