This location will bring you to an old boy scout camp that is no longer in service. The camp was used by Boy Scout troop 250.

***IMPORTANT INFO: The best way to approach this cache is to use the PARKING COORDINATES. If you try to drive to the cache coordinates, you'll arrive in an active residential area and arouse suspicion.

Once parked, follow the path to the backside of the old BSA building, walk around to the front then follow the dirt driveway leading away from the building. The ammo can should be a fairly easy find but please be sure to COVER THE AMMO CAN AND THE CHAIN WELL before you leave the area.

I'm still trying to get some verified history on this old boy scout camp... rumor has it that it was built and started by FDR back in the day, but you know how rumors get inflated over the years... I'll probably change the info about history of this location as I get it or can verify the info...
