Geocache Description:

I noticed that there's only one multi cache in the town of Maryville (as of March 2015.) I plan on changing that! This is the Tennessee Tri-Star. You'll have to answer some trivia to get the coords for each stage (except the first obviously). Coords are not 100% accurate, but they are pretty close. Should only be a few feet away at most. There's 4 stages total! 


I noticed Maryville was slacking in multi-caches. I decided to bring a new one to the area for cachers. I made this one fun and slightly challenging. Since I was born and raised here in good ole' Tennessee, I decided to make one dedicated to my home state. Tennessee's flag has three stars in it. The stars represent the state divded into three parts. The western, middle, and eastern part of the state.You'll have to answer trivia about the Tennessee Tri-Star (Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville) to get the coords for the second, third, and last stage of the cache. The first three stages are all in small containers with the questions inside. Answer the questions correctly, and move on the to correct location of the multi cache. The starting coords are for the first stage. Once you reach the end you should seek an ammo can full of goodies! No need to sign anything till you reach the last stage. I will give a hint for each stage, even though each stage should be fairly easy. Better bring your Tennessee knowledge for this one! If you get stuck on a stage feel free to contact me and I'll point you in the right direction. For the last stage refer to the hint. It'll help a lot. Good luck!
