The Ruins Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

A short hike through some urban woods to some cool ruins. The ruins have become the "canvas" for graffiti artists (some quite good!) and are lots of fun to explore.

There used to be another cache in this area, but it was archived before I had a chance to seek it. I checked-out the area anyway, and thought it was too interesting not to have an active cache, so I decided to place this one. I have no idea where the old cache was, so previous finders are welcome to seek and log finds on this one.

The cache is accessed via the network of trails that begin off of Desmond Dr. (coords for trailhead, below). Total hike will be less than a mile, but the trails wind around, so be sure to waypoint your car or use the "tracks" feature of your GPS'r. Also be aware that the woods get a lot of use from a variety of folks. You will have to cross a creek or two - some usually dry, some not - but that just adds to the fun (there are some strategic logs and shallow crossing spots, but I'll let you find them.)

You are looking for an ammo can; as the area gets a lot of visitors, please re-hide as well (or better) than you find it. I have included an unactivated geocoin for the FTF. Enjoy!
