Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Making plans for the Ashland City trail run on 12/26/11, I knew that some of us would drive right by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cache located in Clarksville. I had noticed this before but didn't pay much attention to it since I figured it was like some other caches in reference to the movie "Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles". Those that I have found were nothing more than an uninteresting magnetic keyholder at a storm drain. The last few months, I began to study this cache and pay particular attention to the 3 difficulty and 4 terrain star ratings. Later, pictures were posted and got a much better idea of the cache. Since the cache had over 20 favorites, I shouldn't be disappointed.

Being that a group would travel from West Tennessee, I couldn't pass up the opportunity for this cache. We arrived at the cache site and began to study the approach. About that time, scoutpaddle comes out of the tunnel and said he found the cache. Yet, after scoutpaddle came out of the tunnel, we were still standing around. I got tired of it, turned on my Surefire tactical light and led the way into the tunnel, followed by chicontater, pcsenn and dhrnrcpa. After getting into the tunnel I found scoutpaddle's footprints and followed them. Made a left turn and soon the footprints were gone! I saw some light and went for the light and could finally stand up. There were several of us in the small area where we could all stand and we were under a storm drain and GPS told us we were in the right location. After shinning the lights around the cache was spotted. We signed the log and made our way back to the entrance/exit of the tunnel. We got out of the tunnel with all smiles. Couple of minutes later, Orion_13 showed up and chicontater's son volunteered to go with Orion_13 into the tunnel where he signed his first 4-star terrain cache!

This was a lot of fun to begin a long day of cache. Prior to departing, I visited the nearby store for refreshments and the employees were inquiring what was going on outside. I told them about our game.
