Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The cache is a metal ammo can (10” long x 3 ½” wide x 7” high). The cache is lightly covered with leaves and the additional hint item. The ammo can is tethered to a forked tree.
The cache initially contains: Log, pencil, pencil sharpener, Afghanistan bills, and miscellaneous pocket toys.
This section of the Uwharrie National Forrest is open to the public all-year-round, and has primitive camping sites within it. Some of the sites are accessable by vehicle, others require hiking to get to.
A parking lot near this cache is located next to NC Highway 24/27, and is appproximately one mile East (on NC 24/27) of the Uwharrie Sportsman gas station and intersection of NC 24/27 and River Rd.
National Forrest parking lot: N35°18.652' W080°02.603' The cache site is located approximately 495 meters from this parking lot.
Please take care to conceal the ammo can again to protect it from the casual observer, as it is within naked eye range of an overgrown logging trail. I don't know if the trail is active or not, but a large area has recently been cleared close to the cache site.
