2. Find 40 Geocaches (Part 3)

Nashville Cache (see what I did there?...like the song by Lovin' Spoonful "Nashville Cats"!)

As they say, "when in Rome...".  OK, so I wasn't in Rome, I was in Nashville but I wanted to find some geocaches outside of the UK and what better place to try than while I was there.

My geocaching exploration started on the Saturday I was in Nashville.  I went for breakfast quite early at The Edgehill Cafe.  It was a lovely sunny and fresh morning.  I then left to find my 10th geocache (without the aid of data or wi-fi).  I'd looked it up before I left the cafe so had a rough idea where I was going.

I headed down 21st Avenue South to the Pizza Perfect.  The geocache was behind the building and it was a clever magnetic one.

Yes, it's hidden here.

Once I'd found this and entered it on my app, I got a "souvenir" from Geocaching.com which gets recorded on my account.

I then decided to go and do some sight-seeing around Music Row and find my next geocache.  I wandered down 17th Avenue South and passed loads of studios; finally made it to RCA Studio B.  I managed to connect to some cheeky wi-fi and found my second geocache.

I then realised that back at Exit/In there was another geocache.  Annoyingly I had been there the previous day but decided to head back anyway.  It was getting warmer as well.  I spent so long trying to figure out the hint.  I eventually figured it out though.

The culprit (so tiny)
 So, 12 geocaches found in total and only 28 to go in 5 years.  I reckon I can do that!
