Geocache Description:

Eastern Tennessee is considered part of the "Bible belt" and the surrounding Smoky Mountain communities hold
their religious believes in high esteem!

He's Alive! XIII
Blowing Cave Baptist Church

This is the fourteenth in a continuing series of He's Alive! caches.

Many of the local Smoky Mountain churches have small congregations, are quaint and friendly, and their structures have a very typical country facade.

Frequently small in size, though large in stature, the church is distinguished by being white in color with a double door step-up entrance and a steeple as modest as the congregation within. The more "luxurious" steeple will house a meeting bell.

Blowing Cave Baptist Church and Blowing Cave School shared the same building from 1889 until the school was discontinued.

Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Dockery and Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Frances sold land to Sevier County on which to build a school March 15, 1889. The county built a log structure and called it Blowing Cave School, but the people in the community agreed to also use it for a church.

In 1910, the old log house was replaced by a new building, and it too was used for school and for church. In the early thirties, the school house burned and a new building once again replaced the old, both being used for school and church. When the county decided to discontinue school, they leased the building and grounds to the Blowing Cave Baptist Church for 99 years for the sum of one dollar.

The best time to visit this geocache is obviously during non Sunday meeting hours as there will be less traffic in the immediate area.

This cache is located near the Blowing Cave Baptist Church off of Blowing Cave Road in Sevier County, Tennessee. The cache container you are looking for is a small plastic cammo Lock & Lock container with log book, pen and small trade items.

Please remember the exact place and position you retrieve the cache so as to return it in the same manner!

Godspeed and enjoy the hunt!
