Breezy Point Vets Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

sir-cachealot: I was unable to replace the container in close proximity to its original hiding place, so I have decided to archive this one. It's had a good run and I hope all who found it enjoyed the hunt and honored the vets who have served.
