Wells Creek winds quietly through the Anderson County countryside, its waters carrying stories from nearly two centuries ago. In 1835, Samuel D. Wells was granted a league of land along this creek—long before Palestine was founded. Since then, the creek has seen settlers, floods, wildlife, and countless travelers crossing over it.
This cache is hidden near a rural bridge where the creek still flows much as it did in Wells’ day. Take a moment to listen for the water under the bridge and imagine wagon wheels or horseback riders making the same crossing generations ago.
Parking: There’s room for one or two vehicles safely off the road just before the bridge—please park completely out of traffic.
Access: No need to climb or get wet; the cache can be reached from solid ground. Use care when approaching the hide, especially if the ground is slick after rain.
Please replace the cache exactly as found, and watch for passing vehicles. Take a moment to enjoy the view—sometimes the best treasures here are the ones you can’t take with you.
I've included a travel bug for the FTF.
