Bowling Green, Green River, Mammoth Cave caches?

Recommended Posts

Howdy,

 

Our Boy Scout troop will be leaving in about a week to visit the Corvette Museum, camp at Mammoth Cave National Park, visit the caves, and canoe/fish the Green River.

 

We are looking for cool caches, especially caches with historical connections (please no hard puzzle or 12 step multis) around this area. We have Sunday afternoon, June 29, set aside for some geocaching and would like to get suggestions from local folks as to which caches to seek.

 

We'll be approaching the area from the direction of Nashville, if that helps determine which caches to suggest.

 

Many thanks in advance, and happy trails to you.............

As for Mammoth Cave it has several Earthcaches, no actual container though makes it kind of boring for scouts, but they are educational.

 

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

 

If anyone has additional interesting suggestions of traditional caches, we'd be very interested. The troop is participating in a GPS/geocaching oriented camporee in the fall, and we're looking to get them some geocaching experience away from home.

 

Thanks!

I can vouch for Turtle's Earthcache being well worth doing--the hike is nice and the view is terrific. He has other caches nearby that have cool things to see and would teach a lot about navigation using a gps (A Walk Around Sloan's Pond) or historical geology (Downtown)...

 

If it's "containers and history" you want, the immediate area just isn't very good for that, but ...

 

Bell's Tavern is a traditional near the Park City entrance on the site of what left of an old stone tavern. Pretty cool site and backstory but the container is just a micro.

 

Ghosts and Goblins is a virtual in a small cemetery in the park. It has historical value (but nowhere to trade trinkets).

We did Bell's Tavern while there. What a location! Thanks for the tip.

 

We posted a picture there. Look at the user named "Troop 45".

That's a great picture, and some interesting looking ruins. Too bad for me that I wasn't a cacher when we visited the caves last summer.
