RTGT #5 - Evergreen Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ninja Reviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:



UPDATE 10/20/16: TOKENS ARE EXHAUSTED; AWARD IS NO LONGER VALID. CACHES ARE STILL THERE TO BE FOUND.


In 2006, the Palmetto Conservation Foundation completed a 1.9 mile rail-to-trail conversion from a former Norfolk Southern railroad corridor. This paved urban trail came to be known as the Mary Black Foundation Rail Trail, or simply "The Rail Trail" to many local residents. The Rail Trail parallels two major roads, connects many neighborhoods to downtown Spartanburg, and is located adjacent to many restaurants, retail businesses and recreational facilities.

To earn her Silver Award in Girl Scouts, AgentGeo has partnered with Palmetto Conservation Foundation, Partners for Active Living and the City of Spartanburg to bring to you the Rail Trail Geotrail (RTGT) consisting of 12 caches along the 1.9 mile stretch of trail. By answering questions about the area around each of the 12 caches and completing the RTGT Passport you will be eligible for your very own RTGT reward token.

Geocache Information:


When you arrive at the listed coordinates (and if you have done the caches in numerical order) you would have traveled a little over halfway of the Rail Trail. Of course, your geocaching fun is just beginning so keep going.

At groundzero you are hunting for an unusual cache container that has been hidden along the Rail Trail. This is not your typical hide although you may have seen it before. Keep your eyes open for something out of place,and more than likely it will be what you seek. Please hunt in geocaching style - wait until the coast is clear before hunting for the cache. Remember to replace the cache as found. Don't forget to answer the RTGT #5 question on your passport.

The Rail Trail GeoTrail would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of the following organizations:
The Palmetto Conservation Foundation
The Partners for Active Living
Spartanburg YMCA
Spartanburg City
