One day while I was looking for an old benchmark in Titusville, I
came across an ammo box. I know, that sounds really odd, but it's
the truth. I was a little nervous about opening it, since I knew it
couldn't be a geocache. It was in an area that is private property
and has signage reminding folks of that fact (OK, don't ask me what
I was doing there - back the story). I kind of nudged it with my
foot to see if it might have anything inside, and I could hear and
feel that there were items in there when it moved. I carefully
opened it ready to jump back if it was a bomb - (I know, it would
have been WAY too late at that point, but I AM a geocacher and
inquisitive by nature). I actually smelled the items inside before
I saw them. It seemed to be a cache of sorts, containing 4
different bottles of perfume, a Yankee candle, some hand lotion, a
new set of nail clippers, a ring with a semi-precious stone, and
even a a pen. The only thing it was missing, it seems, was a
logbook. Well, by the looks of the ammo can, it had been in that
location quite a while, so I decided to take it with me and contact
the venerable Crow T to see if someone had submitted a cache report
that had never been approved. He didn't remember anything being
submitted in that area, so the "Unknown Cache" remained a mystery.
I decided to take this ammo box and its original contents, and
turn it into a "real" cache. I've added a logbook and stashnote,
but other than that, the contents are as I found them (although
I've added bubble wrap so that the perfume bottles won't
break).
You may choose to add odiferous items to the cache, or not. They
say that fact is stranger than fiction, and I believe that! And if
any geocacher who finds this cache realizes that it once belonged
to them, I apologize, but at least you will get a smiley out of
it!!!
It is hidden Florida style, so please make sure you replace the
camo. Trust me - there's plenty in the area!
