Geocache Description:

You are looking for a 30. cal. ammo can hidden off one of the trails in the Nature Conservancy's 1,000 Acre Swamp in Penfield, NY.

This ammo can was a Christmas present to me from teamdavisave. I shook with excitement when I opened the package on Christmas morning.

Visit some of the most beautiful and well-kept trails in Monroe County. Definitely bring your binoculars and do some birding. On the day The Better Half and I placed the cache, we saw woodpeckers, chickadees, cardinals and swamp sparrows.

Coyotes, muskrats, beaver and weasels have been seen in this preserve. Deer, rabbits and squirrels are easily spotted while hiking here. The Penfield Trails Committee sponsors walks and the Penfield Recreation Dept. along with the Nature Conservancy regularly schedule birding and nature walks here. See Town of Penfield

Information about the swamp can be found at 1,000 Acre Swamp

Original contents of the cache include a Nerf football, football trivia game, a Coleman emergency poncho, a nylon drawstring back pack, a Sacajawea $1 and a bag of green army men. Oh, yeah, and for the FTF a yellow jeep 4x4 TB!
