Giddyup Horseys
Cache is located near Horseys Pond, enter using the road by Laurel Airport. Parking is past the houses and past the picnic table.
Our first cache and my son wanted to do it, so what you find will be a 10 Yrs old collection of race cars. Also included the Catmobile TB. Lots of Horseys under the hoods.
This is suppose to be a pretty good public fishing pond. The container is a Rubbermaid type container.
