Geocache Description:

The year was 1967. The big screen was ablaze with “The Dirty Dozen”. It was really 3 movies in one. The first movie was the humor of training. This was attached to “The Test” with tape. Finally, “The Mission” was added to make a full length feature film. This movie was MGM’s biggest money maker of the year. This series of 12 caches remembers many of the actors from the film.

Sergeant Bowren was played by Richard Jaeckel. He was an excellent character actor working in films and TV from the 40's to the 90's. My favorite scene from the movie is when he names the group the dirty dozen. The lines are something like: Now if you . . you dirty dozen will get get your tools, we can get back to work. . . . Very good . . . you look just like real soldiers. The sarcasms is just dripping off the screen. If you have to go from Mt. Pleasant to Talco or vise versa, why not take the back road and pick up a few smileys. All of the caches are along Greenhill Road. An Altoids tin is what you seek. You will need to bring a pen to sign the log.
