Daily "Hike" nets 2 hrs w/ CCFPP & Bomb Squad!
Well everyone, I came across something I never would've imagined around my neck of the woods. I revisited a spot where I came across a geocache last year to see if anyone had left anything in it or signed it. I didn't find the geocache, I think the good 'ole River took it away with the floods, but I did find something else. I took a picture of it with my phone, and went home and started researching some stuff on the internet about it. Had to run some errands, and on the way back home I couldn't stop thinking about it possibly being the real thing and some kid stumbling upon it and doing himself or others some serious harm, so I stopped by the local police station. They didn't want anything to do with it since it was in the CCFP, so they asked me to wait for him to come to the station. After arriving, he asked me to ride with him to take him to the spot. Upon arriving, he examined it, called his Commander and confirmed it was real. The bomb squad was called and we waited for them to come. After they arrived, the Bomb Squad "guy" asked me to lead the way.....
I said, "Uhm, you want me to lead the way, I can point you in the direction where it is, and maybe I can walk behind you... 
" Well, we walked up to it, he examined it, picked it up, secured it and confirmed it's an authentic real live grenade. He said it will be X-rayed, put away in one of their bunkers, and eventually detonated in a safe place. So, I had quite the interesting day today. I'm glad I didn't kick it to check if it was real. 
So I can sleep well tonight without this being on my mind. The authorities were quite thankful of my actions and reporting it. They hadn't seen anything like this in our area before, so when they got the call, they really didn't know what to expect.
