Geocache Description:

Some overgrowth, but pretty much a P'n'G. Container is a Tupperware container the size & shape of a large cookie tin; it is camo'd out.

The nearby street sign here disappears every so often, taken by mischief-makers who seem to like the name.

The area/road's name actually dates back to the days before automobiles. This area is a small valley between Miller & Booze Mountains. It was once the only route between nearby Cave Spring and the rivers in Rome. Merchants would transport cotton and other wares from Cave Spring to the rivers; on the way back home, laden with money rather than cotton, the merchants were preyed upon by bandits hiding in the valley (or hollow). The bandits were called "Boogers by the Cherokee & mountain folks.

Small note on cache maintenance: This cache is very far from our home coordinates, but my family lives here, and we visit here several times a year. Also, my father and brother have committed to any maintenance issues that may arise.
