Geocache Description:

A nice drive..a short walk...something to think about.
I put a little small change in this one in case you have small children with you they will get a little prize. I put a $10.00 bill in it so lunch is on me for FTF. This cache is not rough to access if you approach from best direction but still requires 4 wheel drive most of the time. The old church was torn down in late 70s early 80s it was a pretty old place and it was remote.

This cache is set up so that the coordinates just bring you to were you will park your car.
You must go to the headstone of George Smith, who was at times the only Black person in Jackson County. He was well liked by most people and was considered a friend by the elders in my family. I am sure he had a most lonely life at times as he lived alone with out other Black people, during a time when I am sure many people judged him harshly.. My memorys from childhood are always seeing him with a kind smile. My family always thought well of George. I have stopped by his grave many times as an adult to remember him and ponder the difficulties of his life. This cache is in his honor. He lived to be 100 yrs old and was World WarI vet. You must use the following to find the cache.

If you stand at the head of an old military man
who navigated back in his day
without GPS but still found his way
you can do it like him before GPS ran
you can do it like him
and say that you can
stand at his head and listen for more
stand at his head and shoot a magnetic of 4
find the reciprical of that and follow it back
till you are standing at the cache door
but wait a moment you don't know how far
21 fathems I say and not a step more
you are not finished yet but you are on the right track
if you don't get it right just start again and go back
turn 90 degrees to your left or your right?
only one way will work if a find is to shine bright
go 100 feet and start looking around
is the cache in the trees
or is it there on the ground
if you did it ok it will result in cache found
