Geocache Description:

Regular sized--ammo can, full of kiddie prizes.
Have fun with the cache placement, be try and replace it so it will not be seen from the road, please!

I had to disable the original cache (which was a multi) because the other two steps were going to be muggled a lot. I hated to see a good fun cache go to waste. I decided to enable it as a regular cache.
The ammo box is located at Mt. Zion Church. The original church was established in the Black Creek Valley area, very near to this spot. This building was dedicated on October 31, 1875. The majority of the money was donated by Katie Cope. She is the one that named it after the beautiful city of God. She is buried in this cemetery under a large monument with COPE on it. There are a lot of old pioneer graves in here, and only a few modern ones. A lot of markers have been vandalized or disintegrated but the church still has a plot map. I have a lot of fond memories playing ghosts in the graveyard here for church events. This church was a UEB church until switching to a Methodist Church in the 20‘s. This building burned in the 70‘s, and was rebuilt. I was a young child, but I still can remember the devastation, and the smell of wet, burnt wood. Take a moment to appreciate its vintage stained glass that restored a decade ago.
