Geocache Description:

*** WARNING*** BEWARE OF LARGE WATER MOCCASIN AT GROUND ZERO! DO NOT REACH IN WITHOUT MAKING SURE IT IS SAFE!***

You seek a 50 cal ammo can, along Rock Springs Run, placed in honor of wedded bliss, JailBird style. If you survive the grueling trek to ground zero, your hunt will be incredibly brief, hence the 1/5 D/T rating, per Clayjar

After many years of living in sin, Peggy has made an honest man out of Mark, by roping him into marriage. Whoo Hoo!! Yup, it's true. Sorry ladies, but he's "Off The Market". (Uh... guys? Yeah, that means she's "Off The Market" too) Feel free to join us in the celebration of the nuptials of The JailBirds by participating in one of their favorite activities, paddling kayaks, and tromping around critter infested areas, in search of an ammo can.

I thought this would be a good place to share the toast I offered to them at their wedding:

I wish you health; I wish you wealth
And happiness galore.
I wish you Heaven when you die,
What could I wish you more?
May your joys be as deep as the ocean;
Your troubles as light as its foam.
And may you find sweet peace of mind,
Wherever you may roam.

A husband is what is left of a lover, after the nerve has been extracted. - Helen Rowland

A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished. - Zsa Zsa Gabor

Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means. - Henny Youngman

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. - Rita Rudner

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married. - Katharine Hepburn

In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued. - Helen Rowland
