That might be fun to place one at the top of one of the passes.

Carlton, good idea... We can each bring something specific to our local area for input.

Do you want me to pick up an ammo can?

Rodger..

If you can get a can that would be great!!
Seems like Ian has found the place to hide it now we just need to get some stuff to fill it.

Reminder.. An ammo can is not that big so make sure that if you do bring something that it will fit in the can.

Hiding it will take some serious wheeling though, it's on a side road off Poughkeepsie.

There are 2 old school buses up there, hidden from the main trail. I have no idea how they got there.

I was thinking it would be placed so people not at GOX could find it from the geocaching website.

I could just drop a box out my window and the 10th Xterra behind me could pick it up That would be fun...

To add to the geo-fun, like the guy from MIss. that wants to collect stickers, perhaps each regional club could bring something to add to the ammo can -other than their stickers - that represents their area... smile
Like a nationwide sampler pack...
Postcards, coastal sand, fall leaves, lava rock, whatever.

just a thought,

Anyone got a cut off keg? I think that would be appropriate.

Here's my idea for the GeoCache.

I was actually going to have a contest at GOX this year, with a prize for whoever found "the school buses", but this will be fun too.

The school buses are the two small rectangles pointed out on the picture.

The way down to this spot is quite hairy, the 4 switchbacks are steeper and looser than those on Black Bear.

You can get here from Poughkeepsie, California or Corkscrew.

I'll bring a scorpion to represent Arizona. Who do I give to, Ian? I'll just drop it off in your room as we are signing the waivers. cool
