Geocache Description:

Finally moved and never found (from the Monte Sano CITO event), here it is. The Monte Sano Sinks Trail, #1 Cache.

Ok.. So, no one found this cache during the CITO. To compound matters, it was too close to another cache by about 200 feet or so. Now, having been relocated to a new location (and considering the GPS reception in this area is improved from the previous location), it is ready for release.

Please, help to honor the CITO this was planted for by packing out any trash you might encounter. Thank you very much!

It's a .50 cal ammo can, filled with trinkets and a log book, which I forgot to update with the new coordinates and the date it was moved, so the log book inside cover is incorrect at the moment. Please, don't forget to drop a dollar into the trust boxes along the way into the park - after all, what is a dollar in comparison to being allowed to have a fun day hiking and geocaching on clean, marked trails? Sounds like money well spent, in my opinion.

***Update***

Poor GPS reception in the area hampered my attempt to get new, more accurate coordinates - coordinates are accurate to within 24 feet.. The hint has been updated. Coordinates are accurate to within 24 feet (sorry I couldn't get much better reception, but you know GPS'rs in ravines don't work too well). Old coordinates were N 34, 45.045 W 086, 30.473. New coordinates have been posted, after letting the GPS'r settle down on a very nearby rock for about 10 minutes unattended.
