Geocache Description:

Regular-sized ammo can located in Cold Brook Park near Climax.

This cache was adopted by POMC, the original write up remains..."

I am dedicating this cache to my fellow colleagues at the company I work for who got laid off today in what the local newspaper reported as massive layoffs. Those of you who follow the news in Kalamazoo will know the name of that company.

There are many deer paths through this park, and one of them leads to the cache, which is full of good stuff. Bring your frisbee and play disc golf here! For updated details on the park, including entrance fee information, check out their web site.
