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

Jackson's role
Andrew Jackson's support for removal of Native Americans began at least a decade before his presidency. Indian removal was Jackson's top legislative priority upon taking office. The removals, conducted under both President Jackson and Van Buren, followed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which provided the president with powers to exchange land with Native tribes and provide infrastructure improvements on the existing lands. The law also gave the president power to pay for transportation costs to the West, should tribes willingly choose to relocate. The law did not, however, allow the president to force tribes to move west without a mutually agreed-upon treaty. Referring to the Indian Removal Act, Martin Van Buren, Jackson's vice president and successor, is quoted as saying "There was no measure, in the whole course of [Jackson's] administration, of which he was more exclusively the author than this."
