Description
This cache brings you to the North Merritt Island area, which is allegedly known for being the staging area for the construction of the Merritt Island Subway System (MISS). Source: 1980 Issue of Imbsinguall Magizine. Due to the rapid growth of the area’s space industry on North Merritt Island and Cape Canaveral, the Merritt Island Subway Authority (MISA for short) was established in 1958. The subway system which was completed in 1966 was an immediate success. Other stations were added in the early 1970’s to link Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Patrick Air Force Base. Cocoa Village and the Wickham area were added in the late 1970’s. Source: The Merritt Island Subway Authority If you look closely, you can still see the old transfer rails, staging area and turn station. The washboard dirt road that you will be traveling on is usually quiet, except for an occasional local or two. You are searching for a typical decon container. Please make sure that you secure the lid and replace it exactly as you found it. The contents of the cache when it was placed are as follows:

PLANNING

The weather is improving and we had a good time combining birding with geocaching.

OUTCOME

This was my third search of the day. I looked around the shrubbery along the side of the road but wasn't able to find it.
Here is my posting to this geocaching.com website:

Couldn't find it today.

I forgot to take any photos!

I am now 0/3 for today. This is the second longest stretch of DNFs since I began this hobby (the longest was 5 consecutive DNFs when I was first beginning).
