Bombs Away! Traditional Cache
yankeepride: Seems it had a good run, but this one is likely deceased and I live too far away to maintain. Thanks to everyone who visited this cache and enjoyed a tale of harmless mischief from my youth.

Medium lock 'n lock near swimming area of Round Valley Reservoir
This is a pretty easy one, and even the terrain isn't so bad. I marked it up a little bit because the hill is a bit steep, and if you aren't wearing boots it can take a tiny bit of effort.
I named the cache after a mischievous childhood memory. Three of us, as yutes are bound to be, were up to no good. We had smuggled in one of those gigantic long-range slingshots: the kind where three are needed to launch (one to hold each end, and a third to pull the launcher back). We were up in this parking lot, and had a whole stash of water balloons that we began hurling at some swimmers down below. Take a look, you'll see just how far these babies had to travel. They started exploding in the general vicinity of a dad swimming with his young sons, and while I'm pretty sure he wanted to kill whoever was doing it, the boys were laughing hysterically as the water erupted all around them. Nobody got hurt, nobody got in trouble, and we sure did laugh ourselves silly. If I may say so myself, as the gunner, I did have some pretty impressive aim.
When done, please rehide with a full covering, for while I believe the semi-trail it's near is made by deer and not people, I'm not sure and if the latter it'll get muggled quickly if not well-concealed.
