Geocache Description:

Big Bertha is... um... really an ammo can, but for a single round...thus the idea of being a "micro". You'll appreciate her when you find her.

When placed, this cache contained the following original swag: a crab pot bouy, 5 books, Abrams M.I.A.2 computer game, 2 racketball rackets, a loooonnnng pencil, a plush toy, a 750 piece puzzle, 2 t-shirts, a sun visor for a motorcycle helmet (new!), plus some of scheibwife's usual small stuff... So as you can see, there is room for LARGE trading items.

The 72 Road is a favorite drive for thescheib and scheibwife. It is accessible from either end, but it is recommended to use a vehicle with a decently high clearance as the road is a bit rough in places.

In addition to the 72 Road caches, it is suggested that you also visit Easter Island Face (GC16VHZ), and take a detour up to Verdi Peak for the Peregrin Lookout cache (GCR5N3) and the Ladybug Cache on Ladybug Peak (GC2296). (Waypoint for connecting road for Verdi Peak is 39 29.832, 120 03.196 - take upper fork).

North end of 72 Road: 39 31.530, 120 04.229
South end of 72 Road: 39 25.134, 120 05.163 then turn right at 39 25.451, 120 04.637.
