Geocache Description:

Sports

This cache is located in Squaw Creek park. You will be able to follow the trails till you get about a hundred feet away. You will be looking for a 30 cal ammo can. Also a big thank you to DazedandConfused for helping me get this placed!! Happy caching!!

Millions of people participate in sports every year. For some the appeal is the close friendships that come with being part of a team. Some revel in the joy of victory and lessons of defeat. For some, the personal fitness is so important that exercise becomes a daily need. And still others desire the feeling of achievement, that feeling of measurable improvement that comes with dedication to a sport.
