spongy_mesophyll: This was a fun one. I hope a few people put some more caches on the backside of this Conservation Area. Thanks to all who visited.

Shakespear asks, "What's in a name?" Well for this cache, everything.
The cache is located in Rocky Forks Conservation Area about 0.6 mile from the nearest parking lot. Its in a pretty remote area, so hopefully you'll be left alone. This is one cache in two parts. The first part is a tupperware container hidden under some rocks on the side of a strip pit. Inside this container is a large magnet attached to about 25 feet of rope.
The second half of the cache is an ammo box you'll have to go fishin' for!
Some helpful hints:
1. There are easier ways to get to the first part than going up and down the cliff. Be careful.
2. There is a loop in the end of the rope that is tied to the magnet. Put this around your wrist and tighten it. It is very easy to toss the magnet, rope and all, in the lake.
3. The cache is tethered to the shore. The rope used will float. To keep the rope from floating a ~80 rock was tied to the first 10 feet of rope and tossed into the lake. Please do not move this rock. The cache is on about 25 feet of rope from the rock. (see diagram below)
Shore----10 feet---Big rock---------------------25 feet----------------------Cache
4. You'll want to stand on the large flat rock outcrop just south of the first cache.
5. The cache is loaded with goodies, and rocks. Don't take any rocks out, otherwise the cache won't sink! Bring small (heavy if you can) stuff to trade.
6. Everything is double bagged, please make sure everything is sealed well. If there are any leaks notify me ASAP.
7. Please test the cache out to make sure that it will sink. Just lower it into the water by the shore.
8. Toss the cache out as far as the rope will allow, remember the rope floats and we don't want to draw attention to the cache.
Good luck and have fun!
