Geocache Description:


GeoCenter of TN photo GeoCenter_zpso7ehba8r.jpg

In geography, the centroid of a radial projection of a region of the Earth's surface to sea level is known as the region's geographical center. 

 

We always find it interesting that we live so close to the center of Tennessee.  Driving by here recently, we decided to make a puzzle to bring people to this marker and the center of our great state.  Hope you enjoy! Format is N 35 51.ABC W 086 21.DEF.  Good luck and have fun.

A= If the bench is made from metal then 5, if wood then 7, if there is no bench 9?

B= How tall is the obelisk erected at this location.  If 30 ft B=2, if 90 ft B=4

C= How many stepping stones are in front of the monument and add 1?

D= How many round end caps are on the fence posts?

E= Take the year erected and subtract 1972?

F= How many sides of fencing is at the location?

Congrats to SamBamFam for first to find honors!!
