Geocache Description:

Placing this cache for all the travelers through the area that just need to pull off the Interstate for a few minutes so they can stop and enjoy the music instead of listening to the constant droning of the tires rolling mile after mile on the pavement.

The cache has a surprise inside for all to enjoy. Please be very careful with it. If it breaks - let me know.

VERY HIGH muggle location... This cache has been stolen once and even discovered by the local bomb squad (4-28-2013) where I had to go retrieve the contents of the evidence bag from the Oregon State Police. Below is just one of the news articles written about it:

*******************
The northbound Gettings Creek Rest Area along Interstate 5 about fourteen miles south of Eugene was closed Sunday evening while police checked a report of a suspicious object hidden in a tree. A Eugene Police Department hazardous device technician inspected the object which was determined to not be a destructive device but a Geocache container.

According to Oregon State Police Trooper Michael Berland, on April 28, 2013 at approximately 7:00 p.m., OSP responded to a reported suspicious ammo can hidden in the crook of a tree near the Gettings Creek Rest Area entrance along Interstate 5 near milepost 178. As a precaution, ODOT was notified and an Incident Response worker came to the scene and assisted OSP with closing the rest area until the object could be further inspected.

After arriving at the scene, a Eugene Police Department hazardous device technician inspected and confirmed it was not a destructive device. The ammo can was removed and the rest area opened about 8:00 p.m.

Oregon State Police Arson & Explosives Section urges anyone involved in Geocache activity to use transparent containers and clearly label the container's exterior as a Geocache. If responding hazardous device technicians have any doubts about a suspicious container, they will take all necessary safety precautions including destroying the container to render it safe.
