This is a dual listed cache so FTF is unavailable but FTL is.

Second in a series of night caches dubbed the Night Stalker Series which will help brush up your Geocaching Skills. Though this MAY be done in the daytime, these caches are designed to be completed at night, so bring a flashlight!

This cache is designed to help you figure out your Pace Count but may be done as a straight multi.

When you reach the starting point (reflective marked) face 60o Magnetic with both feet together then:

Step off with your left foot first and walk casually, like you would when hiking.

Count one pace every time your right foot hits the ground.

Count the total number of paces you take to walk 100 feet (reflective marked).

Repeat the process a few times (at least twice) and average the results. This is your pace count per 100 feet. Write this number down.

From the 100 foot mark, point your flashlight at 50o Magnetic and proceed to the next point.

When you get to the next START point, repeat the process above to get your 100 Meter Pace Count. This course is only 50 Meters so double your final result, and write it down.

All directions are available at each point on labels or containers under the reflective markers except the final...you will have to find that one by GPS.

This cache is around the Edward M. Norman Tennessee National Guard Armory. Please use designated parking area (s), this cache can be completed without crossing any fences or entering any private/secure area. The armory is aware of the cache and approve of its location.

This is a nice TB trading cache, it is not a TB Motel, if you do not have a TB to trade take one anyway if you can help it to its destination. If you have one to drop please do so, others like TBs too.

This cache is designed to be a challenge so come with all your Geocaching Mojo.

Please replace the container in the same manner as you found it to keep the find interesting. Maintenance remarks are always welcome.
