The cache is in an ammo box,
due to where it is placed (it isnt likely to float away).
You can almost park on top of this cache so i wont be surprised
to see loads of entries such as ...easy find, could almost have
it delivered.
Check out the History Museum and have a look around while ur

in to the cache area. Day Permits can allow you to wander all
over the property, check in the museum for details.
The Keep out signs are for hunters so you are free to wander
almost anywhere.
