Geocache Description:

My neighbor that geocaches calls the area where this is placed the three trees, but really I see about 5 of them grouped together.  With that said it got me thinking about the three twisters that formed into twister that struck Wichita Falls, Texas on April 10th 1979 also known as "Terrible Tuesday".


On April 10, 1979, a series of deadly tornadoes broke out near the Texas-Oklahoma border.

Known as the Red River Valley tornado outbreak or "Terrible Tuesday," 30 tornadoes ran rampant through the region, killing 58 people, 54 of them Texans.

One of the evening's deadliest twisters struck Wichita Falls, Texas, where a category F4 tornado killed 42 people and left an 8-mile path of destruction through the city.

By the end of the event, the mile and a half wide tornado caused more than 1,700 injuries, destroyed more than 3,000 homes and left 20,000 people homeless. At the time, officials calculated the damages at $400,000,000, or $1.3 billion in today's dollars. 

 

You are looking for an ammo box, there is a few swag items in there.  This is a easy park n grab.  Good luck!
