Achtung - Panzer! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

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.
