While on annual training in September, I saw a new series of caches in Paris, TN and kept them under observation. Pulling up the caches on a map; I was aware of the location in and the long sidewalk. Unlike most power trails, such as guard rails along 4-lanes or containers along a greenway, this power trail was entirely on a sidewalk.
Minnie Mouse and myself had a Saturday afternoon to play around and after attending a Fall Festival at her school, we went after the power trail. The first one was not on the same sidewalk and I parked at the nearby Youth Villages office. Made the grab and moved my vehicle to the Memorial Park in Paris. The park was busy with a number of activities; we parked and began our hike. The hike was moderate with two hills to climb, this suited me since I have a physical fitness test upcoming. All the hides were of the micro nature, but in this environment, that is expected. We had a good time on the walk and were tired upon the completion. We did throw the discs around for one hole on the disc golf course and plan to return to this course some day.
Caches found:
Park and Walk V1
Park and Walk V2
Park and Walk V3
Park and Walk V4
Park and Walk V5
Park and Walk V6
Park and Walk V7
Park and Walk V8
Park and Walk V9

Completion of "What's Shaking?" series
With a trip to New Madrid, MO this week, I completed the "What's Shaking?" series. The series are 8 caches spread out from New Harmony, Indiana to Tunica, Mississippi that bring awareness to the New Madrid Seismic Fault System.
I took leave the much of the day after dental surgery to replace a crown, despite my mouth being numb and later sore, I didn't have any trouble on the cache run. Except, that when I crossed the Mississippi River at Hickman, KY and tried to travel to New Madrid on back roads. 10 minutes after getting off the ferry the road was closed! I turned north and keep trying to go West for the Nuvi to re-route. I ended up in East Praire, MO and finally arrived on the Interstate to New Madrid, that taking 45 minutes. My time was eroding and made quick work of all the caches I selected, choosing the "What's Shaking?" cache to best last since I knew the type of hide and would not have trouble locating the ammo can.
Arrived at the cache location and said to myself, "What a cool location!". I took several pictures before finding the cache. I easily favorited this cache as many cachers have done so too. By far, the New Madrid cache was the best of the series.
Listed below are the "What's Shaking?" caches:
