How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

An Ammo box in the Approximate Area of Airport Rd.

It's The Alphabet Game (T.A.G.). We've all played it. You try to find things that start with the letters of the alphabet and the first one to get all the letters wins. Now you can play T.A.G. while geocaching in Centre County.

This cache represents the letter A so all the initial stash of trade items start with A. There's some Assorted Animals, Antique Automobile coins, an Airplane, an American flag key holder, and other Amazing letter A tradables. If you take something, please trade with something else that starts with A to stay within the theme.

It's OK to stretch a little bit to get your item to start with A as long as you explain your logic in your log entry. For example, you might argue that it's not just a golf ball, it's an "American-made golf ball". Or, you might leave an "Absolutely Adorable PSU refrigerator magnet". Actually, the more creative and entertaining your description of the item is the better. As long as it starts with A (bonus points for alliteration).

Oh, by the way, Angry also starts with A and that's what you might be after encountering the Awful Assembly of thorns in this area. Just keep in mind that the Amassed Army of thorns is protecting the cache from neighborhood muggles.
