This one is a very quick and easy one. It is hidden, with permission, on the edge of the Barrow County Fire Department's property. You are welcome on the property, but PLEASE be mindful and DO NOT BLOCK THE FIRE LANE!!!You are looking for an ammo can that is discretely hidden just inside the forest line. It is also noteworthy to mention the actual marker is just down the road, but there rally isn't a lot of room to park. This location is much safer for the little ones.
