vhasler: From what I can tell, the ammo can is missing. I've also checked the proper hide location to no avail, thus now archiving.

Geocache Description:

Ammo box hidden on a hill side

Relocated in December 2011. Ammo can on the SE side of Holston River at a former TVA parking lot (now closed) near Fort Patrick Henry dam. Note: The parking lot gate has been closed for several years, so just park in front of the gate like the fishermen. Cache is then within a football field distance. Do not attempt at night due to safety and police.

The averaged coords are roughly 35' accuracy so several places to search. A general rule of thumb is a hunt at GZ might take 10 minutes per difficulty star for traditional caches. No hint as I am seeing these are read from home. This is a pure search...

After removing rust from the ammo box, the paint job is to use up spray paint from the shelf. Grey base coat with a textured top layer left over from a school project. The texture will probably rub off over time, but goal was to get some cameo on the can. Labeled Geocaching.com on bottom.

TVA's geocaching policy is that they are acceptable as long as not near active facilities or cemeteries. The container is no longer located uphill on the other side of the new "No Trespassing" signs. Permission was granted to have a geocache on this side of the river.
