If you do bring any trackables here, you'll a good sized lock n lock container that most trackables will fit into. There's also a smaller inner container for Geocoins (and small TBs), along with log book and cache note.
If you pick up any trackables, as always please don't keep them - they should be kept moving from place to place, and please check if the trackable has a specific goal / mission attached.
Should you find that your feet are tired already, there's a handy bench to sit on close to GZ!
