Geocache Description:

Easily accessible cache near paved walking trail.

This cache is placed on one of this area’s newest walking trails. It follows the Etowah River for part of it’s length; it is in this area that you will find the cache. Should you choose to walk the entire 2.4 mile loop, you will wind through fields that used to be planted in cotton, but now grow the area’s newest cash crop, sod. The field in front is still often planted in cotton, but this year is resting in soybeans. If you look across the road from the cache, and past the sod fields, you can see the regular outlines of the Etowah Indian Mounds. Once home to several thousand Native Americans between 1000 A.D. to 1550 A.D., this 54-acre site contains six earthen mounds, a plaza, village area, borrow pits and defensive ditch. This is the most intact Mississippian Culture site in the Southeastern United States. (visit link)
The cache can be found just off the trail; please use the trail and do not cut through the cultivated fields. I might just see you out there; it’s where we often take our Daily Walk! Cache is an old Army First Aid kit.
There is a gravel parking lot close by, near some soccer fields. Please park there and not on the right-of-way. The walk from the parking lot to the cache is just under half a mile.

Congrats to Travel O's--FTF!!
