Geocache Description:

Good ol' ammo can cache in the woods! Container is stocked with goodies so bring the kids. Top may be difficult to open if closed all the way - to help the next finder, no need to close it all the way.

There is a pull-off in which to park your geo-mobile, or parking across the street.

Here's a tribute to that age old winter malady! Stop licking your lips and read on...

Cheilitis: Dry, cracked or sore lips, usually in cold, windy, dry weather and less often in warm weather. Sun exposure can contribute to chapping of the lips. Licking or biting the lips does not help the situation.

The lips are more sensitive to chapping than the skin. Unlike the skin, the lips do not produce oils to protect them against drying.

To treat chapped lips, use a good chapstick, ideally one containing beeswax, phenol, and a sunscreen. If you don't have a chapstick, use lipstick. And, if you don't have a chapstick or lipstick around, rub your finger over the side of your nose and then wipe the oil on your lips. In winter and at elevated altitudes, drink lots of fluid.

Some steps to prevent chapped lips are to:

Do not lick or bite the lips.
Use a chapstick or lipstick on the lips before going outside. Reapply it several times while outside.
Use a chapstick that has a sunscreen in it when going outside during the day.
Avoid a flavored lip balm. The flavor can tempt the user (children included) to lick it.
In bitter or blustery cold weather, cover the lips with a scarf or a ski mask.
Stay well hydrated by drinking lots of fluid.
Use a humidifier at home and, if possible, at work during the winter months.
