Geocache Description:


Some history about the area (from previous owner)
This virtual cache is a very unique piece of architecture. This structure spans the Middle Fork of the Holston River and is supported by a beautiful stone arch. A small country road passes under the arch. The structure is over 100 years old and still doing the job it was designed to do, so many years ago. The limestone blocks of the arch were hand cut locally, and pinned with iron spikes. As you will see, the arch is very narrow. At the time it was made, there were no cars or trucks traveling thru it, just carts, wagons, and buggies.

Take a few minutes to walk thru the arch and examine the work that was involved in its design. (Traffic is very low on this road, but make sure nothing is coming before you walk thru this short, one lane passage!)

Please bring a trash bag with you and help me keep this site clean.

About the cache and logging requirements
To get credit for the find, simply email me the year that is carved in the keystone of the arch OR send me a pic of you with the arch. Either one, or both, will be fine.
