The container is a medium lightweight ammo can. Youngest of the 4 helped with the hide, so it's pretty obvious. Coords were checked several times with multiple units, then averaged (best accuracy was running about 7-10 feet).
Though hours vary, this area is generally open and accessible from dawn to dusk.
Starting swag includes some Presidential dollar coins, a Hoover Dam Anniversary token, some patriotic key blanks and other "Americana." Please keep swag non-partisan (no campaigning, muckraking, mudslinging, smear tactics, scandal-mongering, swiftboating, baby kissing, ballot stuffing, intern chasing, filibustering, glad-handing or hanging chads, please).
The FTF prize includes an unactivated President Obama trackable (if you’re a fan, you can launch it with a goal of returning it to Washington, DC — if you're not a fan, you can send it back to Illinois, or all the way back to Hawaii).
CONGRATULATIONS TO EIZER FOR BEING FIRST-TO-FIND — don't forget to vote (…early and often?)!

If you find the cache on Election Day, bring along one of those "I Voted" stickers and put it in the log!
July 2014 -- Find it while you can, 'cause I'm afraid it's destined to be muggled again. When I went to replace the cache, the original hide site looked like a young vandal was using it to stash his/her spray paint. I relocated to a "same, but different" spot within five feet. Still easy and obvious. Please use discretion and re-hide carefully. Thanks!
