Geocache Description:

(Respected Officers over Foreign Lands)

Resurrection of the original "Huey UH-1" cache.

Looking for a waterproof matchstick container. This is hidden in a usual location but in an unusual way. It is not inside the fence and does not require digging. It is not a shrub cache. Please use stealth to help protect it's longevity.

The Bell Helicopter Textron UH-1 Iroquois, commonly (or officially in the United States Marine Corps) known as the "Huey", is a multipurpose military helicopter, famous for its use in the Vietnam War. The "U" stands for utility, in contrast to attack or cargo helicopters.

The UH-1 was developed from 1955 US Army trials with the Bell Model 204. The initial designation of HU-1 (helicopter utility) led to its nickname, Huey. The nickname became so popular that Bell started putting the Huey name on the anti-torque pedals.

The aircraft was first used by the military in 1959 and went into tri-service production in 1962 as the UH-1. The last were produced in 1976 with more than 16,000 made in total, of which about 7,000 saw use during the Vietnam War.

Ground speak has issued a challenge for cachers to find a cache every day during the month of August 2013 and will reward you with a souvenir for each day that you log a find!

Tallahassee Area Geocachers is taking it one step further: we are placing a cache a day for everyday in August 2013.

Happy Hunting!
