Geocache Description:

Ammo can in the woods


When I pulled into the parking lot at Lake Jessup Wilderness Area North Tract there was a Hawk sitting on a post in the parking lot. It had its back to me so I couldn't tell exactly what kind it was. I got out my camera to take a picture, but it flew off to some power lines. I took a picture of it there, but it wasn't very good. While I was on the Red trail looking for a place to hide my cache. I saw a Bald Eagle heading for the lake. Probably going fishing. These are just two of the creatures you will see out here. I saw a blue heron several egrets too far away to tell which kind. Cows, yes I said cows. Most likely pigs and gators, but I didn't see any of those. Lots of fire ant mounds so watch out. I'm sure the infamous 'toe is out there too, but I didn't see or hear any the day I hid this cache.

You will be looking for a Riffster camo'd ammo can. I have had this one for a long time. It has been riding around in my Jeep ever since Mr Riffster gave it to me. I didn't want to just dump this cache anywhere. When I saw this place was open I knew where the cache was going to be placed.


I know the ammo can was stuffed but I don't remember what all was in it. I built the cache a long time ago. I do know that there is a plastic bag with stuff for the first person that finds the cache or if they forget to take it, for whoever gets it first. There is a brand new paperback book by Michael Crighton and an unactivated geocoin.

Be sure to go prepared. There may or may not be a writing device in the cache. It is a nice walk back to the car to get something to write with. Any online logs will be deleted if your signature isn't in the physical logbook. You have been warned.
