March 14, 2013 --Went out a did some maintenace on my cache today; changed the cache container so you will be looking for an ammo can. Much more durable cache container, bear and moose proof as cachers say in Labrador. The little pirate pouch disappeared so I had to put my pirate coins and pathtags in a little treasure chest inside the ammo can. The log isn't filled but I put another log in a bison tube inside the treasure chest just in case so the bison tube is NOT A TRADING ITEM. I put a few more of my TB's in the cache.

I did maintenance on my cache yesterday. The ammo can was gone so I replaced the container with a small lock-n-lock container. I have it full of TB's, pirate pathtags, couple of Geocoins, metal doubloons, and plastic pirate coins. Be sure when you replaced the cover there is no dirt that will interfere with the seal. Be considerate of cachers coming behind you and remember to trade up or even.

A special thanks to E A TOM for doing maintenance on my cache. There should be lots of swag and TB in the cache. Replaced the container with an ammo can. Be sure to be considerate of other cachers and trade up or even.

I finally did maintenance on my cache a few days ago. It was gone so I replaced it with a plastic ammo can. If it disappears again I will have no choice but to archive it so be wary of muggles. This is the third time replacing the geocache so it is getting quite expensive. The treasure chest is not a trading item but the coins, pathtags and TB in the treasure chest are trading items. Happy Caching Me Hartees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
