Geocache Description:


Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!

That's right! Definitely not in Kansas, you are in Salem! Salem Cemetery. The Wicked Witch of the West had to make a rather hasty exit, (for obvious reasons) and she left her ammo can behind! (It's a little known fact that witches carry ammo cans.)


As you are searching, it helps if you say, "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!"


P.S. Cache is in a cemetery so, no night caching. The stamp is not swag. It is for Letterboxers to stamp their books so, please leave it in the cache for other to enjoy also. If you are a Letterboxer, you can find this cache at www.Atlasquest.com AQ#260911

P.P.S. When we were placing the cache, we did notice a hunter's tree stand nearby. It wouldn't hurt to wear orange or bright colors. We are sharing the woods with hunters so, be careful. (I'm not sure why there is a deer stand on cemetery property. I did check and the cache is located on cemetery property.)

P.P.P.S. Wow! It's amazing how resilient trees are! The tree is swallowing the cache! I came to check in the cache today and couldn't get it out of the hole! I'm leaving it active because you can still access the cache and the log inside the tree. :) Just please make sure the box gets closed once you are done.

P.P.P.P.S. I'm upping the difficulty as the witch in the tree is shrinking the hole! The cache, however, is still accessible. As of 7-25-18 we were able to grab the cache, CovertOps signed the log, we closed the cache and put back in its spot. All done with NO tools except long arms and a pen. :) So, with that said, you MUST sign or stamp the log or your find will be deleted. (Pictures of the tree, hole or even the cache do NOT count as signing the log.) If you are uncomfortably retrieving the cache from the witches grasp...then this cache may not be for you.
