Geocache Description:

A simple, classic cache, a few yards off of some trails running behind a small park in Ayr, along the Nith River.

The "S" in MMSM is Smitty. This is his first cache -- Smitty's Art Box is stocked up with lots of art supplies!

 

ORIGINALLY: An ammo box under a log.

UPDATE: It turns out that ammo boxes on the ground just off the Nith River tend to become encased in ice in the winter, and get swept away in the spring. Cache is now a camo'd Lock & Lock safely hidden above the flood line. Coords unchanged, as change in location was mostly vertical.

UPDATE: The cache is now a fake rock a few feet up in a nook in the tree.

UPDATE: The cache is now a black bison head high in this big ol' multi tree.

 

 

Terrain rating is for warm, dry weather -- in the snow, during the spring run-off, or after enough rain to pool water, add a star and wear good boots.

NOTE: Parking lot is closed in winter.
