NorthWest Arkansas Cachers

Wow! I just read this log in one in one of my caches. We now live in a time when everyone is terrorified, this goes to show you should ALWAYS make sure your ammo cans have the big GeoCache stickers!!

Found this- my first- cache without meaning to Went walking with the dog, and we went a bit off the path to avoid a family of bicyclists. I noticed a metal box; upon closer inspection, it was a ammo box! I rang my husband, as I was not sure what to do- wasn't sure if I should ring the police, should I touch it or is it liable to explode (we just moved from Ireland, where a ammo box find would mean suspected terrorists...). He told me to pick it up and see if anything was in it. As I did so, I saw a big green sticker on the other side, saying "OFFICIAL GEOCACHE" I had heard about geocaching before but never joined, but decided this is a sign I should- it'll give me an incentive to explore the local area a bit more. I took the little tickes keyfop, as I have 13 months old twins, and left a d10 dice and a small Irish coin. o

I don't know what's worse. The fact that her first thought was terrorists, or that her husband's was "pick it up"???

ROFLOL!! That is exactly what I was thinking!! But I didnt say it! HA!

Somewhere in Northwest Arkansas is a nice Irish-American woman with an extraordinarily large life insurance policy.

Yeah that was me *looks sheepish* My husband couldn't stop laughing!

This probably wouldn't have happened if I was from the area, as hunting and guns are part of the culture here. But as I said in the log, in Ireland (where no-one has guns, not even the police) finding ammo/ an ammo container in the woods would mean there is probably an IRA camp nearby... sad but true.

Just think, you have an awesome story about your start to geocaching in Arkansas Look forward to seeing you on the 4th!
