Ticks Ticks Ticks Traditional Cache

Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that are often found in tall grass and shrubs where they will wait to attach to a passing host. A tick will attach itself to its host by inserting its chelicerae (cutting mandibles) and hypostome (feeding tube) into the skin. The hypostome is covered with recurved teeth and serves as a hammer.

It is pretty likely you will find a tick or two or three on you while in the woods. Be sure to check yourself each night and remove them.

At one time this was an old jeep trail so we are told. We headed down this trail which I seriously doubt any jeep could possibly go down these days. Since it turned pretty much into a jungle we dropped an ammo can to mark a trail to find our way out. You are seeking an ammo can that should not be too hard to find. The trail opens up right here and there is a rather obvious spot to look.
