We felt the younger crew members had finally out grown the reasonable age for going Trick-or-Treating and they agreed (mostly).

Laura and I searched the internet for what we thought would be appropriate and affordable Halloween entertainment. Of course, there was a multitude of pop up haunted houses, haunted trails, and haunted hayrides. But these seemed to either be for older folks and most had a hefty price tag when you consider buying five tickets. We even looked into the Chattanooga Ghost Tours here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. But the price tag for the tour we wanted to do was way too much for us.

Then Laura found “Flashlight Nights in Oaklands Mansion,” which gave us the opportunity to explore a “mysterious mansion and experience some of the unusual mourning customs and creepy superstitions of the Victorian era.” in Murfreesboro at night. How great! Spooky, educational, and within our price range.

Being a geocaching addict, of course, I found a way to make this a geocaching trip. I planned out a trip that included grabbing all of the Jack Trail Geotour caches in Murfreesboro at night.
