You will be looking for a 30 cal ammo can with some trading items.
This is located between the golf course and the disc golf course at
Jones park. The hours of the park are 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. Be on
the look out for the disc golfers, they can sneak up on you if they
throw their disc's to far and into the wooded areas. Please replace
cache as found so it's not out in the open. Cache on!!!
Golf is unique because the players police themselves. Other sports
depend upon referees or umpires to apply penalties when there are
infractions of the rules. In golf, every player is expected to act
honorably, and the welfare and integrity of the game rely on every
player's honesty. This is why golf often is referred to as a
"gentleman's game."
