Emerts Cove

Emerts Cove is a small mountain comunity within the town boundaries of Pittman Center.


Frederick Emert, of German descent, was a Soldier of the revolutionary War, serving under General Washington and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis. He was also at the Battle of Bradywine and the Battle of Gulock. Frederick and wife, Barbara Ann, continued to live on their farm in Emert Cove until their death, both were buried in the family graveyard on their farm, the present day Emerts Cove Cemetery.

The Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River runs out of the Great Smoky Mountains through Emerts Cove. This mountain water is considered very pure and was designated an "outstanding national resource water" in March 1998 by the State of Tennessee. As shallow as this river may seem, at times mountain rains can reek havoc as testified by a once riverside schoolhouse, that served as a place of worship, having been destroyed by a flood in 1890.

A micro-cache is hidden within a structure of Emerts Cove that gives this cache name the "CB" designation.

A 35mm plastic film canister is your quest. This cache contains only a rolled up paper log book to sign, therefore bring your own pen or pencil to log your name and date.

A “spoiler” hint is provided if you so choose to use.

Have fun and enjoy the Pigeon!
