Geocache Description:


"Veni, vidi, vici"means "I came, I saw, I conquered." It is a Latin sentence reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 BC as a comment on his short war with Pharnaces II of Pontus in the city of Zela (currently known as Zile, in Turkey). Veni, vidi, and vici are first person perfect forms of the three Latin verbs venire, videre, and vincere. Its form is classed as a tricolon and a hendiatris. The sentence appears in Plutarch and Suetonius (Plut. Caes. 50, Suet. Iul. 37.). Plutarch reports that he "gave Amantius, a friend of his at Rome, an account of this action",whereas Suetonius says "In His Pontic triumph he displayed among the show-pieces of the procession an inscription of but three words, 'I came, I saw, I conquered'. 

This is not your usual P&G. Lots of fallen trees in the area makes this hide even more difficult. You are looking for a camoed plastic jar.
