This cache is temporarily unavailable.

MainePublisher: Your cache appears to be in need of attention. It's been a while since the cache was found and there are no owner logs letting finders know if the cache is still findable.
All geocaches must have a responsive owner. I'm temporarily disabling the cache page to give you the opportunity to check on the physical cache. Please post an owner maintenace note within the next month so the cache does not need to be archived for non-response.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a magnetic nano. Bring your own pen or pencil.

This cache is placed near the Wright Museum in Wolfboro, NH. This place is a must see for anyone interested in the history of the US homefront during World War II.

Among numerous exhibits, the museum has an impressive display of WW II vehicles including some armour. From the site of the cache you can view an M3A1 Stuart tank. The Stuart (AKA "Honey") was used by US forces as a scout tank. Just as well, I don't think I'd want to face even a Panzer IV in a Stuart.

A note concerning the cache name: "Achtung - Panzer!" by Heinz Guderian was a seminal work on the application of motorized warfare. First published in 1937, it argued for the use of tanks and motorized support vehicles in mobile warfare. As World War II was to show, Guderian pretty much got it right.
