Thanks tim! It was actually a rather fun experience. After 340 finds, it was 
not only a change of pace,  but, allowed us to explore a new avenue of 
geocaching. We had a fun time hiding it and enjoyed the time at the cache 
site. We hope yall will enjoy the hunt as well. As far as the name goes... 
well, we wanted something very original... :) LOL Actually, really couldnt 
think of a good name so since it is our first cache, we called it RTW-1! :) 
Guess we will call our next one RTW-2! :) LOL We think it sounds kinda 
catchy! :) I want to thank Team Coyote1022 for donating the ammo box for us 
to use for our first cache.

As far as the items in the cache: The stuff is new and in their original 
bags yet. However, nothing really special. Just some of the nicer stuff you 
might find in any other ammo box cache. But, it's all new! :)

As far as putting a bunch of brochures in the cache: Unfortunately, I am 
almost out of those old brochures! For the record: I don't put brochures in 
there for advertising. It just kinda became a 'signature' item that we would 
put in alot of the caches we visit. Kinda like Loran would leave a Sand 
Dollar. We still traded items and in addition to that, would leave a 
brochure. The very first cache we did, we didnt have anything to trade, so 
we left a brochure (as that was all I had in the truck) and it kinda became 
our signature. I had nearly 5,000 (or more!) of those old brochures left 
when I had my nice new shiny glossy ones made. So, had to do something with 
them! :)

As far as the race for #2 goes... I definetly would like to get 'in the 
race'. But, being that CHUMP has a 26 cache head start, it is gonna be 
tough. We are game though and plan to make a run for it! ;) But, there arent 
but a few caches left to get in the valley for us and we will have to travel 
north or west of the valley or out of town to find big numbers. That will 
get increasingly harder to do as I move into the Fall as my business really 
starts to pick up again. But, we hope to give Team CHUMP at least a lil' 
challenge! ;) Also, the teams behind us are rather close as well. They too 
could end up passing us up. We enjoy going for big numbers. So, although we 
just cache as we feel like it, we are able to find ourselves firmly on the 
'front page' and hopefully in the run for #2!
