Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the listed coords. Coords are a good place to park to buy a can of SPAM. But the FTF will not have to buy one!!! The 50 Caliber ammo can (the BIG one) is within a 2.5 mile radius of these parking coords.

After some recent events I had a hankerin’ for a fried Spam Sandwich. So I headed to purchase a can. I parked my Jeep and being a good GEOCACHER I marked my position……. before I exited my vehicle. As I stepped foot on the ground my cell phone went off telling me I had the following two e-mails:

1-

I WAS SPAMMED again. Now I was flustered and even needed a few landmarks to be sure to get back to my ride. So I looked to the South and scanned to the West, but I did not use the one to the North it seemed unlucky to me. I felt relieved and thought that the three should be enough and I would be set to continue on to get my desired treat.

You too can follow my foot steps and profile to find your way to “Eastside Spam”.

Besides the tasty treat there is a pair of unactivated TB tags for the FTF.
