Geocache Description:

This cache is in the Ruskin Freer Nature Preserve which is part of the Blackwater Creek Natural Area in Lynchburg, Virginia. We entered at the Greek Orthodox Church and accessed the hiking trails from the bike path.

This is the first cache that we have placed, as we were just introduced to this game a few days ago. We hope that our placement provides some fun and a challenge to fellow geocachers. Included in the initial cache is a new camping flashlight, a Garfield Yo-Yo, two key chains that we found at other caches(one school bus and one pickup truck), and a Susan B. Anthony one-dollar coin.

HAVE FUN!!

UPDATE: I repaired the cache on 9/29/02. The canister was in fine shape, but it had not been sealed, so the contents were wet. I cleaned and dried the cache and replaced the log book with a new one. Please be sure to reseal the cache. On 9/29/02 the cache contains a flashlight (that still works), a small toy soccer ball, a pencil, a credit-card sized ice scraper, and a matchbox car keychain. UPDATE 5/30/05: I had heard that the cache was wet again, so I replaced the container with a water-tight green ammo box. The contents were in fine shape but the logbook was slightly damp. I left a new logbook. I also left a small knife to serve as a pencil sharpener, so please don't take it. Happy caching!
