This carrier based interceptor Grumman F-14"Tomcat" is retired at
the Palm Springs Air Museum.
This particular F-14 was assigned to a colorful squadron with an
amazing combat history. To keep credit for the log email the
squadron name to me separate from the cache log. On this day, Feb 5
2003 a memorial was held at this location for the crew of the space
shuttle Columbia who were lost on reentry. The lost man formation
of T 34 Mentors of the Dragon Squadron from March AFB flew by in
tribute. I dedicate this cache to the memory of these brave souls
who reached for the stars.

Our last cache in Palm Springs before heading home to Saskatchewan Canada. We really enjoyed our cachng time in Palm Springs and surrounding area. We drove past this area several time in the last 2 weeks so was nice to make this our final "find" THANKS for the virtual.

Last day in the Palm Springs area. Had a GREAT time and got an early morning start to stop by and get this cache. Drove by numerous times in our travels but never had time to stop in so wanted to get this one. Our LAST Cache on this trip. Our first time to the area and HAD A BLAST-- GOOD FRIENDS and LOT of Caches.
ONE LAST TIME--THANKS to ALL the area cachers for MAKING our holiday so enjoyable  . Had hoped to get to 3000 finds BUT came up a few short--Now will have to do it in the SNOW & COLD 
Thanks for bringing us to Interceptor--We always ENJOY the Virtual caches whereever we go and wish they were still available to do as they always take us to some "Hidden Gems" and are very educational as well.
Hope to come back again as we left lots of caches for another trip.
