Geocache Description:

Continuing our version of the Courtin around series because we have enjoyed doing some and enjoy learning more about the counties.  Format is as follows: N 3A BC.DEF W 086 GH.IJK.  Good luck.


Can't believe with the active cachers in this area that this puzzle hasn't been made yet.  As most counties in the south, this will focus on history, veterans, and the Civil War.  Good luck, maybe our hardest one yet but time will tell.
