This is a multi stage cache. The coordinates will take you to stage 1 where you find the coordinates for stage 2; in stage 2 you will find the coordinates for stage 3. You must sign and date all 3 logs before logging the find. Please enjoy the trails and history of the property. There are pens with the logs but you will need to bring something to write down coordinates for the next stages!
Stage 1 of Multi The Father: Nathan Bachman was born in Chattanooga during the yellow fever epidemic of 1878; his parents were Jonathan and Evalina Bachman. He attended Baylor school and several colleges before finally graduating from the University of Virginia with a degree in Law. He started a law practice in 1903 and was elected Circuit Court Judge in 1912. He was appointed to the US Senate to replace Cordell Hull in 1933. He married Pearl McMannen Duke (of the well-known North Carolina family) in 1904. Bachman Elementary School (now a community center) is named for Senator Bachman. Senator Bachman was the father of Martha McCoy Bachman.
In this cache you will find the coordinates for Stage 2. Note the adjustments to the coordinates in the box: For "A" you'll need to subtract 1 from the questions answer and for the W coordinates it now says 461
Stage 2 of Multi The Grandfather
Jonathan Waverly Bachman, affectionately known as the “Bishop of Chattanooga” for his ministering to all regardless of race or social standing during the yellow fever epidemic, was Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga for 51 years. Prior to joining that church in 1873, Jonathan served as an Army Chaplain under Confederate Generals Stonewall Jackson and Robert E Lee. He was born in 1837 in upper east Tennessee. He married Evalina Dulaney, of Blountville in 1863. He died September 26, 1924. Dr. Bachman delivered the dedicatory prayer when the Walnut Street Bridge opened in 1891 and the Market Street Bridge in 1917. He was Martha Bachman McCoy's Grandfather.
In this stage you will find coordinates for the final stage.
Stage 3 of Multi The Hatfields and McCoys
The Hatfield and McCoy feud (1863–1891) involved two families of the West Virginia/ Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph “ole Ran’l” McCoy.
The McCoys of this property had nothing to do with the old feud, but it is interesting to note that the long-time caretaker of the property is Mr. Hatfield.
