Geocache Description:


Do you love letterboxes? OF COURSE WE ALL DO! This is a regular sized ammo can painted red! It is directly behind the Fire department in the rocks of the creek. This will require exactly ZERO stealth. Everyone in town knows it's going to be there. The cache was placed with cooperation from the library, church, fire department, and us. A wonderful effort of the community coming together.

Please do not attempt this after dark. No night caching.

If you are not familiar with letterbox hybrids that's perfectly alright. They predate geocaching by over 100 years. In the current form of letterboxing you are supposed supposed to carry your own personal stamp and stamp your book with the stamp within the geocache and stamp your stamp on the log inside the geocache. You do not have to have a stamp to log this geocache. Just sign and date the log like you typically would. 

With in the letterbox/ammo can is a log book,a stamp, an ink pad , and a pencil. These 4 items ARE NOT TRADABLE. They stay inside the grocache.

The rest of the items are there for you to trade. Please as per the rules trade items of equal value.  To start the cache we have stocked it with some small items. Erasers, coins , a large marble and our last Ron Hinkle Glass kiss.  If you have any questions or concerns The fire chief's boss gave us permission to set this cache. We want everyone to enjoy the game we love. We hope you enjoyed your trip to The thriving metropolis that is Harman, WV.  Be cautious while caching with children....as we saw a snake.     

Directions if letterboxing...  . find the gap. walk to the right of the dumpster till you can't walk easily any further. Turn right proceed 15 feet. The ammo can is under a big rock.
