2024 UPDATE:
As you can see from the photo from the last finder, this cache is not what it once was! I will have to consider what to do about it, but it will likely have to be archived. In the meantime, come find it while it lasts and get a discount 4/5!
The original Day 5 had squirrel problems. They kept stealing it! After 3 or 4 times I had to archive it and the Twelve Days Of Christmas have been missing Day 5 ever since. Now we have Day 5.1! It's Bigger! It's Better! It's more Secure! Let's see those squirrels steal THIS one!
All the usual Eglin Range issues may apply depending on the times and seasons: thorns, snakes, ticks, hunters, bears, alligators, thorns, UXO's, military exercises, thorns, hurricanes. Oh yeah: Thorns.
