Ammo Expedition: Weapons of Cache Construction
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is an ammo box, hidden within the woods of Glencryan, Cumbernauld. Please come with sturdy boots and good wearing clothes, this is a tricky and muddy gorge to access, but well worth the mission once located.
LISTEN UP YOU DIRT BAGS!
This mission is not, I REPEAT NOT! for the faint hearted, so any cacher without the stamina or heart for this can run back to mummy WITH THEIR TALES BETWEEN THEIR LEGS! Do I make myself clear SOLDIER?
This mission, if you chose to accept it, will reward you with satisfaction, knowing that you have reached GROUND ZONE and used your tiny little pea pod what you call a BRAIN to solve the puzzles of the ammo box.
Once inside, it is up to you soldier! to extract the goods upon whence an immediate departure is in order to evade capture.
Once completed it will be the requirement of your training as a veteran Geocacher to put the box and its equipment back exactly the way you found it. Failure to do so will result in solitary confinement with nothing but Captain Fleece of the 101st AIRBORNE to administer correctional behaviour methods.
DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR SOLDIER?
NOW DROP DOWN TO YOUR KNEES AND GIVE ME TWENTY, DIRT BAG!
STAND EASY, THAT WILL BE ALL!
PLEASE NOTE......
Surplus military ammunition containers, fondly referred to as ammo cans or boxes, are popular geocaching containers. The metal cans are rugged and fairly waterproof. If you've never handled an ammo can before, you might spend a few minutes puzzling over how to open it. Here's how:
1. Find the latching mechanism on the narrow side of the ammo can.
2. Pull up the bottom of the latch.
The latches are usually tight, so you'll have to use some muscle. Be careful, though, because a tight lid can spring open and really whack your fingers good.
3. After the latch is released, push it up and away from the can.
4. Grab the handle on the top and pull up on the hinged lid to open the ammo can.
It might be a little snug, so again, you'll need to use some elbow grease. If it's really tight, use two hands with one hand on the lid handle and the other on the wire handle below the latch mechanism.
To shut an ammo can, do the reverse, first placing the top of the latch under a metal lip on the side of the can and then pushing down hard on the bottom of the latch.
