Looking for an Silver Ammo Box. In an effort to recognize those who
pass a major milestone, Special Ed and Fallen Faery have started
the tradition of placing milestone caches. Caches will be placed
for every 1000 found. It's just a small way to congratulate local
cachers and their efforts
We have decided to make the theme of this cache 'Be Prepared' to
help the local cachers to make sure their geocaching goody bag had
the items they might need. Try to keep in the theme and trade items
that might help another cacher when an emergency might arise.
This cache placed in recognition of Cachew Nut's 1000th find.

'The Nut'! :)
Before I started geocaching he and I would be on Cub Scout campouts
and he would always have his GPSr on hand. He would tell me stories
and get a group together and go on a hunt to find the ever present
geocache in the area. We did this a few times and I even checked
out the website.
A few months later, based on the information I had gotten from him
I bought my first GPSr for a campout I was going on in the Panther
Den Wilderness in the Shawnee National Forest in southern
Illinois.
The GPSr was great on that campout as I was able to put locations
to the beautiful spots we discovered and we were able to wander
aimlessly being able to always return to our campsite.
When I returned, of course, I started geocaching in earnest and
whose geocaches did I decide to cut my teeth on? You guessed it,
The Nut!
... and boy, oh boy, what caches! It all started with Keystone,
three trips to find that one and then we moved onto his near the
DesPlaines River and Grand... Full Cavity Search and the DesPlaines
River Rats.
Yikes!
The stories were always interesting and making the find very
satisfying. A great teacher.
This cache isn't as tricky as his have been but it does have a fun
little twist that should keep it interesting.
Thanks, Cachew Nut, for the addiction. Here's to your next
1000!
-------------------------------
On a side note to explain the contents of the cache. Cachew Nut has
always been involved with volunteer rescue groups. In the back of
his van is the ever present duffel bag filled with all sorts of
emergency gear.
He has helped out in all types of emergencies. From tornados in the
Midwest to hurricanes in Florida to, even, toxic spills in
residential areas.
Let's follow his lead and try to 'Be Prepared' for emergencies that
might arise.
