TOMMYKNOCKER GEOCACHES
LOVINGLY MAINTAINED BY NATHAN AND OLIVIA
🥇FTF: gatraveler



Intro from Nathan and Olivia
Copper Hill and Ducktown were once mining towns; however, the hustle and bustle ended when the pickaxes stopped swinging. Folktore tracing back to Welsh and Cornish immigrant coming to America to mine speak of mythical little beings called "tommyknockers" that played pranks and tormented miners while they tried to work. We came across this tommyknocker while exploring, maybe you can solve their riddles and find them too!

The Tommyknocker's Riddle
It's time to learn, dearest travelers! 
Sadly, not one received their Bachelors
and these pumps no longer work.
You'll find me in the back with a smirk!
Please, don't venture inside.
Outside only you should stride.
