August 26, 2006: This cache was adopted by 50sumtin who
has repositioned the cache and updated the cache page effective
this date.
April 22, 2007: Checked on the cache this morning and it
is not where I had placed it. Vandalism in the area has increased
and I presume that the cahe has been muggled. The replacement cache
is a green ammo box that is well-hidden at the base of a tall tree
under sticks and pine needles.
