Geocache Description:

An ammo can in the woods....who could ask for more?


When I first placed this cache the name was picked to help a fellow cacher (cough: Jim Carson) but then the name became a reality. Specifically: the first place the cache was deposited turned out to be too close to a puzzle I had not yet solved (now solved, and found). The cache was then retrieved and placed on Squak Mountain...too close to a way point for the Bullitt in the Sky Multi - which I had actually been to a couple of years ago. ARGH. So cache was retrieved again and carried in to the woods near May Valley Road, but with no spot found that was suitable and sufficiently isolated. Finally I brought it here - an area where I think I've solved all and found all the puzzles and there is an "open" spot. If you are reading this, my venture was successful. Enjoy the hike - preferably from the designated parking spot so as to enjoy the beaver-created lakes and maybe even venture down Ann's Trail to see a bit more of the terrain. The cache is starting out with a HQ Coin (the purple folding one) for the FTF, and lots of other swag for the hordes to follow. Take something, leave something - and enjoy the trails. CONGRATULATIONS TO FLYCATCHER! FOR FTF. LET ME KNOW IF OTHERS FIND THE COORDINATES "OFF" AND I'LL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. THANK YOU! UPDATED: It is hard to get a good GPS reading in this area as you'll see from reading the posts. Some say the coordinates are off by 20 feet, others by 40 feet and then one comment says within a couple of feet. Take GPS variations into account when searching - and read the hint if you're having a problem.
