This Cache is located along Kingsport's "Greenbelt" which is an eight mile walking trail around the city which passes some very interesting landmarks. The trail is hard-packed gravel with some ruts and elevation changes. For a virtual tour of the Greenbelt, visit their website http://www.kingsportgreenbelt.com/index.html
Welcome to my first cache and the first cache to be hidden in the Kingsport Area. This cache consists of two parts.
Parking for the first stage can be found at N36.33.019 W082.35.349. Once you find stage one, you'll need the following information:
Number of Cherokee Clans represented = A
Number of Acres returned to the Eastern band of the Cherokee = B.CD Acres.
E=B+C.
Now that you have these values, plug them in to get the final location of the cache.
N36.B2.AC5 W082.2E.4ED
The final cache is located less than 80 feet off the main trail. Parking for stage two is located at N36.32.605 W082.29.196. From here it's a short 5 to 10 minute hike. However, if you have plenty of time, you can just take the trail from stage one, but it's about eight miles each way from end to end.
Warning: This is a busy trail used regularly by joggers, walkers and cyclists, so use caution and don't let anyone see you getting the cache. Also, the trail is only open dawn to dark, so no night caching? The trail is also patroled by bike cops, since it is in the city limits, so it is safe for all.
The original contents of the cache are: Logbook, pen, pencil, carry strap, glowstick, Ron-Jon Croakie, Scuba-Fin Keychain, Shark's tooth, Highlighter, Mini knife, fan-mister, mini dog leash, stress ball, cache note, "FIRST FINDERS AWARD", extra baggies and a trash bag.
Please be sure to re-hide well so nobody will stumble across it accidentally.
Enjoy the hunt.
