This cache is a hated/dreaded micro, please bring your own pen. It is a stones throw from the highway and a little brush busting is needed to get to it.
The area adjacent (west) of the hiding place is the staging area for special forces during training in the sound. Alot of men jumping out of planes and dropping into the water. If you are lucky to come by during a training session you will get to see quite a sight with men parachuting into the water and zodiacs speeding up and down the sound picking them up.
