Geocache Description:

This cache is near a cave. The terrain is fairly steep but it's not far from the road so I don't think it's that hard.
----Elevation is 519 ft.----
It is in a plastic, dark green, rubbermaid box/container.

Hardins-Junkyard is a cave west of Nashville. It goes under the highway and out the other side of the mountain just above the Cumberland River. This cave has interesting history and some nice formations in it. One story from the newspaper tells of three boys who, while exploring the cave, found a dead body in there. Attempting to recover the 'body', rescuers discovered the remains were from an old mannaquin. Some practical joke, huh? If you're interested in exploring the cave contact the Nashville Grotto (their phone number is on a wooden signboard at the cave) or follow the website provided to the contacts.
