Tour of Clarksville Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Jasper_and_the_Queen: I am saddened to do this, but with the string of luck this cache has had, it is amazing that it has stayed active this long.

The first final stage was swept away by the remnants of Hurricane Katrina; the second final stage was hit by a tornado; the third stage marker has been removed...

Time just to let it go...

Geocache Description:

This is the first point of a five-point multicache. Be sure to top your tank and maybe pack a lunch, because you’re going on a Tour of Clarksville! This cache has been revamped, so anyone who has solved this one before should feel free to hunt this one again and log it a second time.

This cache is a tribute to the Tour of Fayetteville cache in Fayetteville, NC (archived now, sadly). It is a combination traditional and virtual cache. Please take the time to enjoy what you see. I have indicated a few additional caches near each site; be sure to check them out if you haven’t already, and there are many more that I didn’t include for brevity’s sake. Make a day and a Geocache Safari out of it! Enjoy your tour!
