Geocache Description:


The 'ready-made city' of Fort Oglethorpe was originally created as a military post in 1902.  It was the home of the first WAC, and where the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) was invented.   To learn much more about this unique town on the edge of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Battlefield Park,  we highly recommend taking a few minutes to explore the exhibits in the Welcome Center, which is open Mon-Sat 10-5. 

You are looking for a classic ammo box.  To get to this cache, park by the Welcome Center and walk past the storage building with the mural on front.  You will pass "Big John". (a tank) and a Jeep that were in service here in World War 2.   Look at the back of the building.  No need to go up the stairs! 

Placed with permission of the City of Ft. Oglethorpe director of parks and recreation.   Thanks to the city for the SWAG that awaits!
