Geocache Description:

This cache is in the Jordan Lake gamelands area on stagecoach road. It is an ammo can. It should be pretty easy to find. Since these are gamelands, be sure to wear orange!

History and Nostalgia
The theme of this cache is old stuff!
Contained within are items from the 1930s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and some kitschy stuff from the 80s. Some are historically interesting, others are just fun.
Please leave similar stuff behind... Old newspaper articles, post cards, coins, as well as your unwanted corny junk from latter days: leg warmers, pet rocks, Bay city rollers 45s... you get the idea.
Let's try to keep it to pre-90s stuff!

Bonus: There is what seems to be an abandoned shack en route to the cache. I did not have time to explore it, but if you have the time It could be interesting. The trail to the cabin starts at N35° 52.762 / W078° 58.069

Enjoy!



***** HIDER'S NOTE: Thanks for all of the recent visits. Might it have something to do with the new mall traffic?
At any rate, I have a request: IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING HISTORIC TO LEAVE, ENJOY THE CONTENTS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING. This is so the cache does not degrade into a typical assortment of regular left-behinds. THANKS!!****
