CALLING ALL NEWBIES!!! IF SANTA BROUGHT YOU A GPSr FOR
CHRISTMAS AND YOU HAVE LESS THAN 20 FINDS (+/- a few), THIS ONE IS
JUST FOR YOU!!!
It seems that right around Christmas every year a new crop of
cachers comes about, having just received a GPSr. If that is you,
welcome to this RASHO (Recreation/Activity/Sport/Hobby/Obsession)
we call geocaching! This cache is special made for you.
***FOR THE FIRST SIXTY DAYS OF THIS CACHE'S LIFE (until 1
March 2006) ONLY CACHER'S WHO HAVE LOGGED 20 FINDS OF LESS (+/- a
few) WILL BE ALLOWED TO LOG FINDS ON THIS CACHE.*** After that
period the cache is open to all to find. Come experience what a
"first-to-find" feels like!
You are looking for an ammo can hidden in the wilds of Shelby
Farms in East Memphis. No real surprises here, but some terrian
change and lots of thorns! Mosquitoes in season. Best parking is at
the back of the Visitor's Center. Inside the cache you will find a
collection of supplies and goodies we have found useful or novel as
you begin what we hope will be a long, fun geocaching career! The
swag for this cache was contributed by several members of
Geocachers of West Tennessee (www.GOWT.org).
Welcome to geocaching. See you on the trails!
