Geocache Description:

This is a two-stage multi-cache. The first stage will be easy if you have seen a hide like this, but if not it may take a while to free your mind from the usual expectations. The final cache is an ammo box.

The first stage is a bit sneaky. You will be looking for AA and BB, where the final cache location is:

N 46 04.7AA
W 118 15.6BB

Stage 1 is not a benchmark. You do not need to disassemble anything. You do have to "acquire" it. What I mean is, the coordinates aren't just written on a fence post (for example). When you find Stage 1 there will be NO ambiguity about AA and BB.

Warning (Stage 1): I don't believe there is a hide like this in the area, but eventually you will run across one ... it might as well be now. I have given you extra hints to make it more reasonable (I hope).

The final cache location is less than a 1/2 mile from the first location. It is lightly camouflaged, about 20 ft. off the spur trail and does not require any heavy bushwacking. It is best to approach from the southwest. It's an ammo box, so there is no need to tear up the area looking for a small cache! Please re-hide well.

The cache was originally stocked with things for adults, kids, dogs, and cats.

Warning (Stage 2): Tree cover makes the GPS a bit jumpy in this area.
