Geocache Description:

Placed in celebration of Veterans Day 2011 and the Palindrome 11-11-11. Simple Ammo Box hidden under the tall growth trees. Please respect the surroundings and watch out for the prying eyes of muggles nearby! A variety of military trinkets and other goodies to start this one off.

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction, with general allowances for adjustments to punctuation and word dividers.

Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots palin (p????; "again") and dromos (d?óµ??; "way, direction") by English writer Ben Jonson in the 17th century.

The most familiar palindromes, in English at least, are character-by-character: The written characters read the same backwards as forwards. Some examples of common palindromic words: civic, radar, level, rotor, kayak, reviver, racecar, redder, madam, toot, boob, pop and noon.

Can you think of any more?

Park next to the giants. Please respect the private property. Use caution to avoid muggles stares. If you take something, leave something in the best tradition of Geocaching.

** Thank you to all the Veterans who serve, have served, or will serve the USA - Thank you for our freedom! **

** Congrats Bumbling Idiots on FTF **
