Geocache Description:

The Shape of Jello(S.O.J.)series is going to be based around music, film, activities, and lifestyle changes from my childhood to present day that have made the glorious person I am today.




Placed by permission of land owner, Ray Carter.
He does request that NO VEHICLES attempt this trail / path and that all access be by foot traffic only. Wear BLAZE orange for safety during hunting season, there are others who share these woods! So have FUN, be CAREFUL, and ENJOY. Great views and interesting things you might see in this area, keep your eyes open! Parking for the cache is at N 36° 24.702 W 082° 14.626.



You are looking for an ammo can that is hidden in the woods. Be prepared to bust out the inner billy goat! I have provided a hint AND a spoiler picture, just in case.

Number 5 in the series was placed in honor of my favorite poet/novelist Charles Bukowski. A lot of people wonder what "Don't Try" means on Bukowski's grave marker. Here is the answer...

Ever see those huge volumes of books entitled "Who's Who In America". It's everybody, artists, scientists, whatever. So he was in there and they asked him to do a little thing about the books he's written. At the very end they asked him, "Is there anything you wanna say? You know, what is your philosophy of life?" Most  people inducted  would write a huge thesis, and just go on and on. Well Bukowski just put, "Don't Try."

Please hide the cache back EXACTLY like you found it!!

Congrats to M_Force on the FTF!!
