Bomb or Geocache?

From the small town I grew up in:

"Bomb scare turns out to be geocache
BERTHOUD — Police and a bomb squad were called to Greenlawn Cemetery for three hours Saturday to inspect a suspicious package wrapped in duct tape.

“It looked to be a homemade explosive,” said Berthoud Police officer Scott Bonner. “It turned out to be one of those geocaches with a bunch of necklaces and trinkets.”

The Northern Colorado Bomb Squad used a robot to attempt to detonate the foot-long package wrapped in black duct tape with a hexagonal end and what looked like a fuse, he said, but it “didn’t do much to it."

Online research eventually confirmed the item was a geocache, a container used in a treasure-hunting game to be discovered through GPS devices. The item had been hanging from a tree before the wind apparently blew it to the ground, he said.

Roads to the cemetery at east Larimer County Road 8 and North County Line Road were closed during the investigation."

Yes, slippery slope is funneling us down into the abyss, won't get better until after the big election.

LOL. Anything that looks suspicious, these days.

The Barney Fifes in that little town must have been over the moon.
