Geocache Description:

I was just out in the woods tinkerin around and thought this looked like a perfect fit for something I've been planning for quite some time. This is a multi-stage with in woods puzzle fun! I didn't place any swag in the containers because I wanted this to just be all about fun and adventure. If you want feel free to drop something in the containers for others but its not a requirement, fun times are! The final container is a decon type container so BYOP.

Saw this beautiful place and finally was able to plant this cache that has been sitting in my house for about a month now. You'll need to first find the ammo box. Next you'll need to take it a short distance away to a moss mound (the one closer to the lakeside NOT the one nearest the cache...N 38° 59.400 W 86° 19.937 are the coordinates I came up with) and assemble the puzzle pieces according to the images that I have packed inside the ammo can. I have also "tried" to label the wheels with single letter color codes (R-red, O-orange, G-Green, B-Blue, Y-yellow). A couple of the letters are on the inside of the contraption and some of the letters may be on the outside...or just make something that looks just like what's in the picture and you'll be just fine! Put the ammo can on it's side and the assembled contraption (kinda looks like an open ammo can yes??? no?? I tried) on top of it with the open lid side in alignment with a nearby tree (pretty small one at about 2" in diam or so and one of the very few the beavers have left alone in the area!) with an Orange tack above a White tack about 15 yards away (N 38° 59.402 W 86° 19.928 or I think about 45°). Notice there are black bands in the center of the yellow rods.....the top one (with the blue spy pieces) needs to have the black mark in alignment with that tree. Once that is aligned atop the ammo can (which again should be laying down on its largest side against the ground on top of the moss mound) with the assembled contraption on top of that ammo can and the open and elevated lid facing the orange and white tacks, get on the right side of the contraption and LOOK thru the two blue pieces holes on top to survey where the final cache log is located! The picture below is the side you need to be on and will be looking thru the two blue pieces on the top edge of the contraption.

PLEASE use care and make sure that all pieces get put back in the ammo can before you reset it back at it's original location so that future hunters may have everything they need to solve this. Thank you.
