Typical ammo box with soem goodies. Located about 150 ft off the main trail.
This is my first attempt at hiding a cache, so any input is greatly appreciated.

Take I-40 to the Tirejas exit and go North on 14. Turn left onto the road up to Sandia Crest. You'll park at the first area after the ski area; it's called Basalm Glade. This area requires a $3 parking fee for the day. Don't worry, your pass is good all day at any location in the Sandias. So look for some more caches!

Proceed down the path to N35 12.785, W106 24.356. This is the overlook. Once there, the cache is approximately 150 feet away.

Cache contains Mardi Gras Beads, Simpson's Stickers, Atari Sticker, Golf Tees, Off Road Vehicle from JunkYard Wars, Key Chain, Pins from Chili's, and a Hotwheels car.

If any of my coordinates are off, please let me know. I had some trouble getting more than a 22 feet accuracy with my Etrex Legend in the trees.

This one seemed to have been a bit torn into. The log looked like it had gotten pretty wet. Nice location, though. Thanks.

No container? Just a plastic bag? The cache is in pretty bad shape.

Found cache, ammo box still missing, bag was torn open, most likely by animals. Took orange bean bag ball and Left one 10 cent shekel from Israel.

Thanks for the info, RockyMtnRidgeRunner. It's a shame someone would come and take my ammo can like that.

I'll do my best to get out there sometime in the next week to replace the container.

Wow factor = 3 (Cool!) Nice trail and overlook. Never knew there was anything here but picnic tables. Apparently, sometime in the last week, some inconsiderate muggle decided he liked the ammo can. The contents were dumped out on the ground, and the container gone. I put everything in a plastic bag, but the owner should probably get a new container up there, maybe move the cache. TFTC
