The A-Team - John 'Hannibal' Smith Traditional Cache
78viper: Well, after almost two years and over 130 cacher visits, Col. Lynch is after the A-Team once again! He has located them, and so the team has fled to a safer location. Col. Lynch was just a little too close for comfort. The A-Team will resurface nearby, once Col. Lynch is off their scent. Thanks to all who came and visited.

This is the first cache in the A-Team series I placed along this old, forgotten road. It is a great place to get out, enjoy nature, walk the dog (or horse) and find a few caches along the way.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team. "The leader is a Colonel named John Smith. But everybody calls him Hannibal. The guy has a very unorthodox style." He is distinguished by his unflappable demeanor, even when in peril, his constant cigar-smoking, his black leather gloves, and his many comic disguises. He is a master tactician (although his plans rarely turn out as they are supposed to and seems to have a plan for getting the team out of any situation they get into. His favorite catch phrase is, "I love it when a plan comes together." He fought in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, serving in the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam. Thriving on adventure and the adrenaline rush of life-threatening situations (or being "on the jazz", as the rest of the team refers to it), he seems to genuinely enjoy every challenge they encounter. He is renowned by both allies and enemies for being cool-headed and extremely clever. There is rarely a situation where he is not able to smile in the face of adversity. He will usually light up a cigar when he needs to do some thinking — often when coming up with a plan, and in the heat of a dangerous or exciting moment. He is also often seen putting on his gloves when he senses the action is about to pick up (such as a fist fight breaking out). When captured by their enemies, he will deliver flippant or sarcastic remarks. He regularly dispenses aphorisms, especially to their foes, upon defeating them. He also has some medical skills which he picked up when in Vietnam. He styles himself a "master of disguise", though his skill lay not so much in how convincing his disguise was, but in his ability to assume any role and convince others that his role is genuine. Hannibal uses his various disguises to screen all the A-Team's potential clients to assure they were not fronts for the military—sometimes playing more than one at a time. The cache itself is a small, plastic container with locking lid, camo'd. Please be cautious, especially in the summer as the brush can be quite dense. Bring deet in summer, a machete may also come in handy. Please stay off private property. Parking can be found at either end of the closed road, Papple Road from the East or Johnson Road from the North West. Happy Caching.
