Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of presidential caches.

These caches will come in a variety of sizes, difficulties and terrains. They will be placed all across the area. Hopefully everyone will enjoy finding them.

George Bush was the 41st U.S. president. He was born on June 12, 1924 in Massachusetts. He is the oldest living former president. He was president from January 20, 1989 until January 20, 1993. He was affiliated with the Republican party. He easily defeated Michael Dukakis by a 53.4 to 45.6 percent margin. The margin was wider in the electoral college - 426 to 111. The victory made Bush the first sitting vice president to win the presidency since Martin Van Buren in 1836.

Bush enjoyed high popularity ratings throughout most of his presidency. His decision to enter the Gulf War was very popular, and his ratings soared. However, his decision to leave without removing Saddam Hussein left many people disappointed, and his ratings began to drop. Although his approval ratings dropped into the low 30's as reelection approached, today over 60% of Americans give his presidency a positive rating. As it was looking like he would lose the election, the final straw came as Rose Perot entered the race. Most of his votes came from former Bush supporters, and helped to doom Bush's reelection bid.

This should be a very easy find. It is a pretty standard hide, and should be a quick cache and dash. The parking situation right next to the cache is a little problematic. There is easy parking at the bottom of the hill. Be careful if you decide to pull over right next to the cache. Have fun.
