Geocache Description:

Not hard, watch for muggles!

This cache is located near our home and in a neighborhood we adore. One recent addition that we really love is the Three Rivers Market. Three Rivers Market is a cooperative. They are  named after the confluence of the Holston and French Broad Rivers on the eastern edge of the City of Knoxville. These two rivers flow from the Southern Appalachian mountains and combine to form the third river, the Tennessee River, which travels south to Chattanooga and dips into Alabama before coming back into Tennessee delineating Western and Middle Tennessee.  Like the rivers for which we are named, Three Rivers Market nourishes our immediate community, our bioregion of the Southern Appalachians, and our region.  Rivers are fed by small creeks and other tributaries flow into a larger body. Similarly, we are made stronger by our growing community of Members and our relationships with our local business partners and other cooperatives.

It's also near the Baxter Ave. Fire Station #3 on 204 E. Baxter Ave. The Knoxville Fire Department can trace its beginnings all the way back to 1854 when Town Marshal J.D. Stacks saw the need for an organized bank of firemen. But it was in March 1885 when the city of Knoxville formed a full-time, paid fire department. During the holidays we often take homemade goodies there during the holidays because those volunteers never get a day off. They usually offer to let the kids come in and climb on the fire trucks and have never complained about dry banana bread.  We hope you enjoy finding this cache as much as we enjoy living here.
