Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are not for the actual cache.


This cache is part of the Tennessee Courting Around Challenge GC1PBG9

Take a nice stroll around the new & old courthouses and gather information to get the coordinates for the final caching hidden close by. 


The above coordinates bring you to a beautiful monument at the new Roane County Courthouse and stop one on this tour. You will have four stops around the new & old courthouses to gather information needed to find the final which is a short walk or even shorter drive away. There is plenty of safe parking at the final.

The coordinates for the final are: N35 5A.BCD W084 3E.FGH

Stop #1 - How many branches represented minus (-) how many wars represented. Your answer is F
(The answer IS NOT zero)

Stop #2 - (Old courthouse) How many stars are on this plaque. Add (+) the two digits for D

Stop #3 - Obelisk (You will use all for sides) A = How many horses are pulling the stagecoach, B = How many chimneys + doors, E = Fill in the "E" , On Monday, September 21, E807. G = (John Sevier Side) This historical marker was authorized by the seventy "G" General Assembly of Tennessee 1949, H = Fill in the "H", In 18H6, the General Assembly......

Stop #4 - (Old courthouse) C = How many anchors are on this plaque?

When you have all your information and you've filled in the missing numbers, you will be looking for a pill bottle with a log only. Please use stealth. Depending on the time of day or the weather this can be a very busy spot.

ALSO, I'm not saying this CAN'T BE done 24/7 but you may have some "splaining" to do to the boys in blue as to why you're walking around the courthouses at 2:00 AM lol.

Here is a field checker A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H=18
