***11/12/11*** Due to original cache being muggled, I've replaced it with another container. Even though this one can't hold SWAG, I am keeping the original description as a tribute to my dad. Hope you guys will hunt this one anyway.
This is the first cache placed in memory of my (jul) dad, who died in 1999 from Lung Cancer. For some reason, his brothers called him "Hoot." I don't know if he it was because he was a hoot (which he was) but, well, there ya go.
You are looking for an ammo box across the road from "Prince Cemetery." Even though he is not buried there, his last name was "Prince" and this area is his "old stompin' grounds" as he would say. I am giving accurate directions because I want this cache found. Heading from Malvern toward Bismark on Hwy 84, turn RIGHT on Hwy 128 (Jack Mountain) then LEFT on a dirt road with the sign "Prince Cemetery 1 Mile." Go approximately one mile then turn RIGHT at the "Prince Cemetery" sign. You can park in front of the blue gate. You do not have to go inside the cemetery.
This is a "Take One Leave One" but I want to list the original contents in the cache and why I put them there. In addition to a Log and 2 pens, you will find
New Razorback Cap: He was a fan
2 Rain Ponchos: We once got stuck in a rain/hail storm on a lake and he was so scared all he could do was laugh hysterically!
Pre-Moistened Biodegradable Wipes: Because when he had to go, he had to go!
Blaze Orange hunting vest Youth size
Blaze Orange hunting vest Adult size
Repel Sportsmans Max 40% Deet Pen (still packaged): He hated bugs but loved the outdoors.
1 package Fishing Floats
1 New Rooster Tail Lure (in package)
1 Red Toy Car: He liked kids
2 Soldiers: He played basketball in the Air Force, so these weren't placed for his "stellar military career." These were the closest I could find to riflemen, and he was a great shot
1 Rubber Ball: He was a basketball player
1 Package of "Go Fish" Cards: He liked to play cards and he liked to fish, so why not!
Please put the cache back where you found it and let me know if it needs maintenance.
Big Shout Out to likestocanoe gang for FTF!! And thank you for your kind words. They brought tears to my eyes. And thank you for honoring my dad. It's so nice to know that something connected to my dad still brings joy to others. Enjoy the cap!!! WOO PIG SOOEY!!!!!
