TENNESSEE State Star 38 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Seanachai: Greetings from Geocaching.com,

A determination has been made by TVA that this location is no longer suitable for geocaching as it is too close to their Bull Run Steam Plant. We have been asked to archive this listing and others in the area immediately. This determination comes from an authority higher than the local TVA representative who initially granted permission for these listings. In these cases, we must respect the wishes of property owners and managers. I am therefore, archiving this listing, please pick up this cache or any remaining bits as soon as possible. If there are extenuating circumstance or if there is more information that I should be aware of, I encourage you to contact me directly.

I apologize for this unfortunate series of events, but we must respect the wishes of all property managers. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute in the past and I am looking forward to your continued contributions to the sport of Geocaching.
