Geocache Description:

Update: April 28, 2011 this cache became a single stage traditional cache. It is not longer a multi due to the first two stages continuously needing to be replaced.
Quick and EASY EASY EASY Multicache on the riverwalk within walking distance around the Woodland loop. (Should take about five minutes to complete the multi.)

Bring a pen or pencil to sign the log. There was not room for a pen in the cache.

Only sign the final stage.

This cache is in the vacinity of the Roxbury Woodland Mound.

Across the drive from the Woodland Loop is a fenced in area that protects a tree covered mound. It dates to the Woodland Perios of prehistory (900 B.C. -900 A.D.) It was originally surrounded by an extensive village and probably used asa burial mound for high-ranking individuals. Named after the carpet mill once located next to it, Roxbury Mound is the best-preserved example of prehistoric earthworks remaining in Chattanooga. A small Cherokee settlement from the 18th century is also documented for this general location.
Sadly, the mound was extensively looted during the early 20th century, and the village area was damaged by construction activities.
Only small, scattered remnants of a once-thriving Native American community are found today.

I hope you enjoy the riverwalk.
