Geocache Description:


So sadly, here it was the last day of summer and school started the next day, so we decided to have an awesome last day of summer including placing a geocache. For some time now I have wanted to place a large geocache so this was the chance, we went to wal-mart and picked up a camo 5 gallon bucket. Then we pondered for the longest time what to put in it, I didn't want this to be a typical trading geocache I wanted it to be a specific type of exchange that hasn't been done before. Those thoughts never led anywhere so I decided to tackle my next ambition of placing a seed cache, so at least at first you will find 42 micro "Last Day of Summer" seed caches, feel free to take one or two and please place it somewhere within 10 or 20 miles of this cache, I would like to go out and find all the seedlings of this cache some day without using too much gas.

Please include Last day or Summer of LDS in the title of the caches that get placed from this so I will recognize them. Either way if you message me with the cache page that would be greatly appreciated.

Second of all, with so much space still in the bucket it needed more so this cache will also serve as a Travel Bug Hotel for any travel bugs that need to get somewhere, I started it off with all the travel bugs I could find in my car, totaling 3, and please try to keep at least a couple TB's in here.

The seed caches don't count as swag so don't leave anyhting if you take one, just make sure to mention in the log roughly how many were left so that once they are gone this cache will become a _____ Exchange, topic to be decided later.

The cache is placed in a... well I'm not sure what it is but my friend lives close to here and it is a really need trail to explore.

Since it is a 5 gallon bucket it was hard to hide so it is a ways off the path, you may or may not have to cross the creek but bushwhacking will be required unless you live in a house backing up to this cache.

Parking: I approached this from the Atchison and Nutt intersection, parked on Atchison but I think you can approach this from the Park at Park edge but it is not nearly as exciting.

Please enjoy this cache and remember all the fun summers you had that sadly, one day, came to an end.

NOTE:
The cache seems to have a mind of its own and moves 30 to 40 feet every now and then, not sure why so once you get to the rough area, I suggest using your geosense.
