Notice: location changed 11OCT2005.

Ammo can hidden in the Samoa Dunes Recreation area.

Go past the Coast Guard station on the North Jetty through the gate that is open during daylight hours. The cache is hidden in the brushy dunes where off roading is allowed. Take in the view of the ocean from the jetty. This cache has been moved three times now and will be moved again when the grass in the area gets to trampled and makes the location too apparent. Do not be overly concerned with the welfare of the grass in the area as this is a designated off road vehicle "playground" and a few geocachers each month will have relatively little impact compared to an ATV screaming through the dunes. The grass is invasive English beach grass and in several other areas along the coast groups are attempting to eradicate it in order to restore the natural ecosystem, including several endangered plant species. So give it an extra stomp for me.

Coordinates need to be fixed.We searched today even with a 50 ft radius. Vegetation is getting trampled so that the cache is harming the environment. And the tick situation is not being exaggerated by previous cachers. I too had 10 to 20 on me at various times.
