This cache is part of my Old Souls Series I started placing earlier this year. Being a 20 year Air Force retiree myself I thought this fitting to dedicate this one to 6 deceased vetrans. I reworked this cache to be a FTF prize at our "Just Plain LOST!" event in June.
THIS IS A DAWN TO DUSK CACHE ONLY, NO NIGHT CACHING!
