Welcome to Put In Bay, OH. This is a magnetic nano (August 2011), hidden for your caching pleasure, our 5th on the island. Not much of a cache, but what a view.
Mrs. BBD had a great time out here caching with a good friend 11 months before this was hidden. This one's for you, Eric. The cache hid by BlackForest (Mrs. BlackBrownDog and SherwoodForest) together became a time capsule at the Beer Barrel, at least that's what We'd like to think.

Eric "SherwoodForest" was a very special Geocacher. A Self-Proclaimed Ambassador, he not only represented the Northeast Ohio Geocachers at events in other areas, he was an advocate for the entire sport to park districts, lawmakers, and even people on the street.
You might think that with an attitude like this, that Eric might have been arrogant or boastful. Nothing could be further from the truth. Eric had a mild demeanor that earned him the common description "Gentle Giant". Eric won friends by listening. He encouraged and welcomed the people who were least convinced of their sanity in enjoying such an underground sport. He encouraged people on to their personal bests and challenged all of us to expect more from ourselves.
Eric was partly responsible for many big initiatives in Ohio. He was instrumental in the formation of GeocacheOhio (GO) and the Midwest GeoBash. He helped promote the All-Ohio Women's Event and aided in the flight of the men-folk with the matching "Ohio Men's Escape Weekend".
Eric is truely missed, but in so many ways his influence is all around us. It's in the people, the caches and the culture of Geocaching. To represent this, we have chosen to dedicate a series of caches that we hope will represent the impact that our friend, SherwoodForest had on our sport and our lives.
As Eric would say, "Cache well, and see you 'round the bend."
PS: Hint is a super spoiler, we don't like island DNFs for vacationers!
August 2011 - due to upgrades to the beach, the former picnic table hiding spot doesn't work. Replaced with nano-cache to keep this one alive.
June 2014 - latest beach improvements completed. Still nano, new spot since new sign didn't accommodate cache.
