Geocache Description:

Wow, how in the world is this my 200th hide?! I hid my first cache on 1/12/13, it's hard to believe that in just over a year and a half I've managed to hide 200 caches! I wanted to do something special with this one so I placed it in the same area where I found my 1st cache.  


I think most of us rememeber our first find vividly.  For me, it was with my mom, she was visiting for a few days and we were bored looking for something to do.  She mentioned geocaching, which she had never tried before either but had heard of because of my little brother's boyscouting.  I was like, "Geo-cashing?, I don't get it....is there money involved?" She laughed and tried to explain it but we both decided we just needed to find one to see what it was all about.  So, we looked at the map and found one that was nearby and seemed fairly easy.  It was called "AMTG #6".  My mom said we needed to use coordinates to be able to find it and I knew that the compass app on the iphone used coordinates so I figured that would work. We found driving directions, printed up the cache page, hopped in the car, and took off. When we got to the area, I walked around in circles for a while trying to get my compass coords to match the coords on the page, (btw, I would never recommend using the compass app, it is clearly not a reliable method lol) when they finally matched up, I looked down at my feet and saw nothing...there was a bit of grass and dead leaves but nothing that could possibly hide a container such as the one described on the page.  I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that coordinates weren't 100% accurate so I stood still in the spot where the coords had matched and didn't budge and kept telling my mom that something had to be wrong with the cache coordinates.  Fortunately, my mom was blessed with a tad more common sense than me so while I stood stubborn as a statue, she searched the area for places that could actually conceal a container.  Some 40' away and across the street from where I was, she went, (quite excitedly) "Ah-ha! I found it!" I ran over in disbelief and saw my mom holding a small pill bottle.  She opened it and out fell a piece of paper and a couple trinkets that were the coolest things in the world to me at that moment.  We signed our names and I took a tiny puzzle piece as a reward for our hard work.  From that moment on my mom was hooked! It took me a few more months to catch on, but look at me now! :-) 

This cache, which was located just outside of a beautiful cemetery was later archived because the tree it was hidden in was cut down, so I thought for my 200th hide, I could bring cachers back to the area.  The cemetery is gated and locked so you can only enjoy it from the outside.  

You are looking for a small round camo'd container with a bit of swag and a logbook, please BYOP and replace as found with some natural camo covering it.  Also, try to be discreet so the locals don't get suspicious.
