Geocache Description:

‹(•¿•)› The cache size has grown and moved ! ‹(•¿•)›

Stop by the Alabama Welcome Station on Hwy. 231 (south of Dothan). On display you will see the awesome "Huey" helicopter, they once ruled the skies and have been in military service for many years with training exercises at nearby Ft. Rucker in Alabama and Whiting Field in Milton, Florida,

This is a beautiful rest area and with an actual UH-1 Helicopter on static display! This cache will be easily found with a short walk through the grass to the tree line. There is lots of room for items, the log, pencil and maybe a travelbug or ten!! I had to replace the container, evidently the landscapers pulled up the tree beside the previous cache location, so it is NO LONGER in the bushes next to the huey. It's in a camoed container, keep it hidden! It's just so cool having it right there near the Huey display. This is an official Alabama Welcome Station with a friendly attendent on duty 24 hrs per day.

It's a plane! It's a bird! It's a Huey!!

The UH-1 Huey Helicopter is the most widely used military helicopter. The Bell UH-1 series Iroquois, better known as the "Huey", began arriving in Vietnam in 1963. Before the end of the conflict, more than 5,000 of these versatile aircraft were introduced into Southeast Asia. "Hueys" were used for MedEvac, command and control, and air assault; to transport personnel and materiel; and as gun ships. Considered to be the most widely used helicopter in the world, with more than 9,000 produced from the 1950s to the present, the Huey is flown today by about 40 countries.

. Take care to conceal the cache or at least out of sight of the diligent caretakers. They do a great job, which is what happened to the hide before and animals will eat it if it has food or liquids inside!!. Oh yes, on one previous log someone asked about the sign that says "PLACE RINDS HERE". There is no trash can there in the off season for watermelon eating so it seems comical... but in the right time of year, there is a trash receptacle there and any BUGS or YELLOW FLIES that the sweet rinds will attract are located in that spot, instead of near picnic tables or other trash cans.... so it's no joke. In the summer, after you eat your roadside stop watermelon, place your melon rinds in that trash can at that location. It's a southern thang... dang bugs.....
