Geocache Description:


PLEASE - Be sure to read and understand the details of this cache before heading out - spotty/no cell coverage here.

JK186 started caching just a short time ago and has been really making their mark in the geocaching world.  Following their trademark slogan "That sounds like a terrible idea, What time?", the JK186 team has reached the 8,000 find mark quickly.  Instead of the trditional golden ammo can, this "Golden Oak" stained cache has been placed as a tribute to their accomplishments.

The physical cache itself has been inspired by the famous West Virginia gadget cacher WVTim, any similarity is intentional.  Hopefully it will provide a fun experience!
