Welcome to the trail of Multi's which runs along Kelso Valley Road. You will likely not have cell reception so be sure to down load a list before you start. The whole trail is on paved road so any car should be fine. I have had this idea for some time now to place a trail of caches, only making them simple 2 stage multis, instead of traditional caches. The final stage will be very close to stage one of the next cache, so it will be similar to caching a traditional trail, just follow the dots. I'm hoping this will draw caches into the KRV which is an awesome location to go geocaching. Also, it will help those who love statistics and need to add to their multi numbers. The series is placed along a 20 mile paved section of Kelso Valley Road. There are a variety of containers and not all the caches are easy like you would see on a traditional power trail. There are no caches placed near residences so SkinnyP will come and do my trail. The theme of each cache is based on the Trail of Tears.
The Trail of Tears was part of a series of forced relocations of approximately 100,000[Native Americans between 1830 and 1850 by the United States government known as the Indian removal. Members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves) were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated 'Indian Territory'.The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities after the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush.
