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. 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. Each cache will add new information about the Trail of Tears. The story starts at 1 and ends at 31. A good website to use to calculate distance and heading is https://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/index.php?lang=en&page=distanceBearingMidpoint&status=result

American settlers had been pressuring the federal government to remove Indians from the Southeast; many settlers were encroaching on Indian lands, while others wanted more land made available to the settlers. Although the effort was vehemently opposed by some, including U.S. Congressman Davy Crockett of Tennessee, President Andrew Jackson was able to gain Congressional passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the government to extinguish any Indian title to land claims in the Southeast.
