The stages of this cache will take you to a couple of "Odd"
places in an urban area that seem to have had the sprawl grow up
around them.
The first stage will take you to a historical monument that
tells what the area you are looking at is. The area is quite large,
but very grown up and really kind of sad. You can see some of the
markers, but others have long been overgrown and largely forgotten.
The total area of the cemetery must be at least 5 or more acres. It
extends east to the church and north to the border of Walter P.
Taylor Homes.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE TO GET THE
INFORMATION FROM THE SIGN! You can easliy get it just driving
by.
At the historical marker, what is the name of the place you are
looking at? Count the total number of letters in the name, then add
your answer to 40 and insert the number into the following N coords
to get the final destination.
N 35 XX.586 W083 54.512
At the final destination, you do not need to go inside the fence
to get the cache. It IS NOT hidden inside. You must park at the
parking coords (the electrical supply place) and walk around the
outside of the fence.
DO NOT PARK OR BLOCK THE GATE AT THE POSTAL REPAIR FACILITY.
PARK ONLY AT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY!
There are some very interesting markers here. Some are written
entirely in Hebrew. Back in the early inception of Knoxville, this
area was a heavily populated Jewish community. As time went on,
people migrated more toward West Knoxville and this place was left
in the wake, destined to be surounded by whatever businesses that
decided to tear down the houses that were originally here.
You may enter the place and look at the markers, but we were
asked not to hide the actual cache container inside. The caretakers
do not mind visitors who respect the ones who rest here, they just
don't want riff raff desecrating the solemness of the place, thus
the sign at the gate.
