THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. YOU COULD GO THERE BUT YOU WOULD BE WANDERING AROUND FOR QUITE AWHILE. BEST TO COMPLETE THE PUZZLE BELOW AND LOOK WHERE THE CONTAINER ACTUALLY IS.
The ABCs of geocaching is a series of caches exploring some of the lingo that gets used in the geocaching world.
Ammo Box or Ammo Can = According to Wiki "An ammunition box or cartridge box is a container designed for safe transport and storage of ammunition. It is typically made of metal and labelled with caliber, quantity, and manufacturing date or lot number" For geocaching it holds tradeables, trackables, trinkets and a log. It does a pretty good job of keeping the contents dry. There is lots of room for tradeables and who doesn't love to find an ammo box when geocaching.
I have made this a puzzle cache so a little work will need to be done to get the final coordinates and then a little more work will need to be done in terms of making your way to GZ. There is a checker so you won't have to wonder if you solved the puzzle correctly. Enjoy
