There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above. In fact, they are purposely listed to designate a spot in the middle of Interstate 40 to draw your attention to this cache when traveling through this area. But, if you want to find said cache, I don't recommend stopping there; I suggest solving the Wherigo instead.
This cache is for those determined enough to have gone through the culmination that is the Tennessee Hangman Wherigo Series. In order to locate this cache you must collect the clues given when you complete each of the four wherigo caches and solve the formula below.
The wherigos are short games of hangman which each take about 5 minutes from start to finish. Or do they? It all depends on you and your knowledge of the subjects. Sure you can cheat, but the difficulty level is set to reflect the proud cachers who choose to use their brains... not their computers.
Caches in this series:
Tennessee Hangman Wherigo #1: Constellations
Tennessee Hangman Wherigo #2: Flags
Tennessee Hangman Wherigo #3: Presidents
Tennessee Hangman Wherigo #4: States
Tennessee Hangman Wherigo #5: Bonus Cache
The difficulty rating for this cache is based on the fact that you must play all four Tennessee Hangman Wherigos in order to get the true coordinates rather than the difficulty at GZ; true difficulty rating for finding this cache is 1.5 You will be looking for a small, round, black container.
The Wherigos are part of a project created by marcipanek. The idea is to have geocaches scattered all over the USA that could be found using single Wherigo cartridges. Below is the map of states currently included in the project.
In order to get the coordinates for this cache, you need to add up the clues that you received after playing all four Tennessee Hangman Wherigo caches. When you add these numbers together their sum will = X. The final coords for this cache are:
N 35 59.(X-25) W 083 41.(X+241).
Enjoy, happy hunting, and good luck spilling your ink. Cache ya later!

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning and effort to create and place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey, or the location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travel Bug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for Travel Bugs and Geocoins. If you take a TB or GC from a cache, PLEASE ensure it is correctly logged in and out. If you take one that still shows it is somewhere else, please be patient before "grabbing" the item; it does not get its mileage by being grabbed before the last person to drop it has had time to log their placement. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug or coin, please e-mail or message the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue; they will be pleased to hear from you.
