Coon Skin, the forgotten cache

Coon Skin is located at the TWRA land around Davy Crockett Lake just outside of Humboldt, Tennessee. I begun caching in Feb. of 2005 and was determined that I would find that cache in time. Summer came upon me in 2005 and after some problems with wooded area caches while using a Garmin Legend, I decided to wait for Coon Skin when the weather was cooler and the leaves were down. The early logs of this cache did worry me some.

One Saturday morning on November 19, 2006, I took cachestalker94 to a Girl Scout function and cannotreadgps was doing something else that day, thus I had Minnie Mouse, then age 4, to do some caching. Coon Skin was one of the last caches within 40 miles of my home and off we went.

When we arrived, there some wind off the lake and we wasted little time finding the trail. Turned out, the trail was very clear, unlike what early logs had mentioned. We had an easy time getting to the cache and find it. By that time, four year old Minnie Mouse had about enough and we walked (more like I carried Minnie Mouse) back to the truck where she soon fell asleep.

It's a shame for such a great cache to receive virtually no attention, this is a rewarding cache and should be on the lists of many cachers.
