Do you like old school caches - ammo cans in the woods? Well, this series is for you.
I complain a lot about micros in the woods. Well, I decided to do something about it. Every hide in this series is a 30 caliber ammo can hidden in the gamelands. Most of them involve hikes of at least 0.1 miles, and many are significantly longer than that. I hope you have as much fun finding them as I did hiding them.
Here are some of the detaiils:
- These are gameland hides. Avoid hunting seasons, be respectful of hunters and wear orange.
- There is private property scattered throughout the gamelands. Watch for signs or markers to make sure you stay in the gamelands. There should be no reason to go onto private property to get these caches.
- Many of the areas where these caches are hidden can get very wet during certain times of the year. If it has been raining, or if the snow is melting be sure to wear appropriate footwear. (Nothing was wet when I hid the caches, but I've seen some of the areas under substantial amounts of water)
- I tried to stay away from poison ivy when I hid the caches, but I did see plenty of it in the area. I can't promise that you can get to all of them without encountering poison ivy.
- Bug spray is a must.
- Beware of ticks.
- The parking coordinates are where I parked when I hid the cache. It may or may not be the best choice.
- I put my money into the containers and not swag. Some of them have a small amount of swag, and some don't have any. You're centainly welcome to add swag if you want to.
- MOST IMPORTANT --- MAKE SURE YOU HIDE THE CONTAINER AT LEAST AS GOOD AS YOU FOUND IT. I'VE HAD SEVERAL AMMO CANS IN THE WOODS STOLEN IN THE PAST, AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE ANY MORE DISAPPEAR!!!
