A celebration of the Cummings High School Class of ’75 and your class, too
Having made it a point to attend my first class reunion in 2005 it was a real blast from the past. Not only was it fun but the 30th reunion was the first reunion I attended (can you spell procrastination?). We were in town today visiting my family and did some neat caches in the area and decided I needed to show my appreciation and leave a little something for the caching community. Being a proud member of the Hugh M. Cummings High School Class of ’75, I could think of no better theme.
This is a full sized ammo can hidden to celebrate my Class of '75, and all the graduating classes of all the cachers who find it. It was originally hidden near the high school but then relocated a couple times by JackieA0818 (many thanks!). After hearing from _c3_ (more thanks!) about the hiding spot getting overrun with debris, it was re-hidden again in hopefully it's permanent hiding spot by flaw.v1, keeping the hide in the family (THANKS!!!) and probably costing me a case of da' boyz on my next trip up from Florida :O) Worth it! Many thanks to these folks for keeping geocaching alive and well in Alamance County, my hat's tipped in your direction.
This is now a full sized ammo can pre-stocked with a load of trade items (again thanks to flaw.v1) including ponchos, flashlight, screwdriver set, Carolina blue coozy, tape measure, glow bracelets and lots to have fun with. Be sure if you take an item to leave an item to keep it fun for everyone. You shouldn't have any problems with muggles but if there are any around, please practice your best geo-stealth moves. There may be a little brush to whack thru at the edge but it's not too bad. Includes a log book and pen so just bring your geosenses (and your GPS). The cache is hidden well so please be sure to close it securely and return it to it’s hiding spot when done. Cover it and make sure it's away from the spying eyes of muggles!!! Easy access to plenty of open space to park.
Be sure to give your high school credit in your log listing for this cache and yes, even you William’s folks are allowed to list your find :O)
The new location for this cache is at the end of the old Huffman Field / Fairchild Field airport facility near the abandoned railroad tracks that were the lifeline of this part of the county. When I was growing up here in the 70’s I used to scoot over here from South Sellars Mill and this was one of our big hangouts and a great place to ride and watch the radio controlled folks practicing their skills. You can read some history of this location at (visit link) and it would be great to visit this spot before it all gets gobbled up (a big chunk of it is now the Super Wal-Mart). The first plane landed here in 1919 and during WWII (that’s World War II for you younger cachers…. hehehe) the Fairchild Aircraft Company built the Fairchild AT-21 Gunner here. Even George Wallace held a rally at Huffman Field during his campaign for president in 1968. Yeah, lots of history at this spot so enjoy the cache, visit the link and appreciate some history!
Have fun and happy caching!
