RandMan:
[:(] I thought I would be able to replace the missing cache, but unfortunately, due to health problems, I don't see where I'll be able to make the trek for a while. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to unarchive this cache.

Geocache Description:

This is the Grampa Abe travel bug hideaway. Grampa got tired of the 'old folks home' and found this little spot in the desert. Grampa likes to travel and visit other locations - but does plan on stopping in-and-out of here on occasion. To follow Grampa's travels, go to: http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=19107 (or you may use TB4AA3 for reference on the TRACK TRAVEL BUGS page).

This cache is a 5.56mm ammo can - hidden in the typical Arizona fashion.

The original cache contents consisted of: *Grampa Abe travel bug. *Texas GeoCoin (per records - the only TX GeoCoin that had been circulated in Arizona). *1 X-Large Geocaching.com T-Shirt (a gift for the first finder). *2 GEO stickers. *Headphones. *Tape measure. *3 pc. (flat) screwdriver set. *3 glider planes. *Opal necklace. *FOLD BAGS TO HELP TRASH OUT packet. *Log book, etc.

This cache is hidden in the Bulldog Canyon area. This is one of my favorite areas to visit in the east valley for geocaching - or just enjoying some hiking. There is trailhead parking on Usery Pass Road at coordinates: N33° 30.285 W111° 37.037. The hike from the trailhead to the cache is about .23 mile. Roads and trails will take you to the cache - no need to bushwhack.

Please take the time to rehide the cache in as natural a setting as possible. Also, please try to cover your tracks.

Happy geocaching, RandMan
