Geocache Description:

An ammo can with a Green Geocaching lable on the side. It is tucked away in a bush about 20 feet or so off the trail.

Ok so this has been a long time coming. The story starts back on March 6th of 2005. The local area had been hit with a lot of storms. On a rare nice day, I took the family out for a little cache hunting. Our first stop was "Lower Scholl Canyon Park" by f0t0m0m. The GPSr said we were about 150 feet away from ground zero. I was in the lead, and my son, NESKID, says "Hey Dad, I found". I told him it could not be the cache because we were still 150 feet away. But he insisted that he had found the cache. Sure enough, he had. The ammo can had been in a mud slide. It ended up right in the middle of the trail, buried in the mud with only the label showing. We took the whole cache home and emailed f0t0m0m, figuring we could just arrange to drop it off. At any rate, f0t0m0m just said to recycle the can into another cache and have finally done so. Hence, this cache is Owed to f0t0m0m.

For the Difficulty and Terrain Ratings, I used the tool on the website. Let me know if you think they need to ba adjusted.

The placed, the original contents of the cache were:
A pair of used computer speakers
A new set of Salt and Pepper Shakers
A new combo lock
A new basketball night light
A new Rubiks (type) Cube
The "Lil Yellow Stapler" Travel Bug
A log book and a pen.
