There is a pen and paper in this cache and it is big enough for trade items. I have placed some toys in there for any little ones you might have out with you. My husband grew up a few miles from here but remembers the area well. His grandma Scroggins owned a bunch of land out here, although not right where we placed this cache at! It is beautiful out here so make sure you take the time to look around and breath in the air while you are here!
