***** Since the cache was placed in 2003, the area became a hang-out for after hour activities. A "No Trespassing" sign has been placed at the easy access point. You can still approach from this area. Without giving too much of a hint, look right. You can also approach from 'behind.' Good Luck ******
This themed cache is located within Holmes Run Park. The theme is any item that represents science or nature. (TBs are always welcome)
Please justify your item.
Example: Left Glow stars (Astronomy)
I am not allowed to put a minimum price on items placed in the cache it seems, so PLEASE be fair if your trading and lets try to keep this cache at its current 'magazine' level...
Example Themed/Justified Items Left In Cache So far (08/17/05)
Model rocket kit (Rocketry) from (rocketdudes)

THANKS, to those that left these and others that left on topic items. Some of these items are not at the "level" I would like, but at least they match the theme and were justified.
The difficulty listed is the minimum level.
This cache was placed with the following items, each item has a general justification next to it.
1) Two foam gliders, these are a set, take both (Flight)
2) August issue of Astronomy magazine (Astronomy)
3) National Geographic Animals Of The World Flash Cards (Nature, animals)
This cache also contains:
Film Canister with Two Trash out bags (Environment :-) )
Log book and Map of the area
The cache has a 4 inch diameter opening and is about a foot long, so take that into account when choosing an item to trade.
Please put the cache back exactly as you found it.
Good luck and have fun.
If you need hints, decode line by line to keep it challenging.
*** I have updated the coordinates (4/18/05) and still included the additional ones submitted by others. If your having trouble, give these a shot. This seems to be a tough spot to get a signal, maybe interference nearby. Not sure why this would be happening. So, use the hint if your stuck and you should be OK.***
