A Massachusetts cache in Tennessee? That's what making friends on Instagram will get ya! Special thanks to Cache Cracker Jacks for helping me place my first Tennessee hide! One day I hope to visit Tennessee and find this cache for myself. Until then, I hope it contributes to fun and enjoyable memories for all those who seek it!
Explore Bays Mountain
Come explore the trails at Bays Mountain Park in Kingsport, Tennessee by foot or by mountain bike. The park has many caches already in place. The bookmark list of Bays Mountain caches lists everything from traditionals, puzzles, multicaches, letterboxes, and earthcaches. The possibility of getting five different cache icons in one day is POSSIBLE!
Things to Know
There is a $4.00 entrance fee per car/truck per day. The park offers a Nature Center and Herpetarium with public restrooms, various animal habitats, fee-based programs which include both a ropes course and a zip line, a planetarium, and a lake barge trip--all located near the parking lots. While the park is open daily, (with exceptions for Christmas and New Year's Day) the park operating hours change seasonally and park gates are locked upon closing times. This cache was placed using a Garmin HCx with at least 250 readings to average the coordinates--consider that at the time of the year when this geocache was placed, there was significant overhead foliage. There are various hazards which include black bears, venomous snakes, poison ivy and other critters which may or may not be a problem for you while on your adventure. Prepare accordingly. At different times of the year, your trail may be wet or muddy. Geodogs (on leashes) are welcome to explore with you on this road, but are not permitted in the animal enclosure areas. Look for the signs to indicate those areas. No motorized vehicles are allowed anywhere in the park except on the paved roads leading to the parking lots. Bring your own pen! This cache and cache location has been placed with the full approval of the park director.
