Geocache Description:

The terrain is pretty flat, but woodsy, so there may be some raised roots, etc.

I work for USA TODAY LIVE. This is a cache we put together for a geocaching story that ran on July 27th, 2001. We filled a plastic file box full of items donated by staffers in the USA TODAY Life department. Here are some of the highlights:

-Movie Critic Susan Wloszczyna: 1 Kermit doll from "Muppets in Space" movie, 1 stuffed dog that expels gas

-Science Reporter Dan Vergano: 1 affidavit from a gentleman whose petition to rule the Universe was denied

-Senior Assignment Editor Dennis Kelly: 1 set of plastic chattering teeth

-Education Reporter Tamara Henry: 1 rubber school bus

-Design Editor Nancy Cox: 1 "Can of Whoop Ass", several stuffed animals

-Technology Editor Bruce Schwartz: 1 fancy silver pen (sorry no GPS units from Bruce)

-Movie Critic Andy Seiler: 1 Final Fantasy poster

-Columnist Craig Wilson: 1 Atlanta Olympics pin

-Features Reporter Olivia Barker: 1 "Olivia" pin, 1 stuffed leopard print pillow

-Religion Reporter Cathy Grossman: 1 book on Religion

-Relationship Reporter Karen Peterson: 1 obscene cow keychain

-Senior Assignment Editor, Ron Schoolmeester: 1 luggage tag

Cache also includes other USA TODAY paraphernalia and of course a log book!
