Geocache Description:

This Veterans Day themed cache is a camouflaged peanut butter jar. There is a special pin for FTF and other special swag for some of the early finders. When trading, please try to keep the theme. The posted location is a good parking spot. solve the puzzle for the real location. The cache is between 0.5 and 1.5 miles from the parking waypoint. This is my first hide encouraged by my brother who is an active cacher on the East coast. No need to cross the fence.
