Coming back home from the Reelfoot Lake/Union City, TN area, I needed a small number of caches to reach 50 for the day. The last cache of the day for me turned out to be
Saint Andrew's Cross by Titansfan (GC1PP9T).
I hadn't read about the cache in advance and hadn't seen the area on my previous trips to Trimble, TN. When I saw the giant Rebel flag waving in the distance, I knew that was where I'd be going. It was no surprise because I know that Titansfan is a big fan of Civil War history.

The cache itself was a quick find even though the coordinates were off a bit. After finding the cache and signing the log, I walked over to the cemetery itself to see the cross and read the various plaques. It was cold and very windy, making the flags stand out at times.

This was an excellent example of geocaching taking you to interesting places that you might not have seen otherwise. It was a great cache to end the day with.
