Geocache Description:


Dedicated to my Grandfather who served during WW II on the mine sweeper The USS Pinnacle.

 

He spent the majority of his time in the Mediterranean Sea and was called upon to serve as a gaurd for President Roosevelt at the Yalta Conference in Russia.

As a kid, he loved to tinker with things which served him well during the war as he and his shipmates litteraly kept the ship together and moving using rubber bands, wires, strings and other common household items.  He loved to make puzzles out of copper wire, and tie hammocks.  He loved to fish and live off the land.  Navigation and gadgets fascinated him, and although he died a couple of years after the birth of geocaching, I am sure he would have loved it and loved telling everyone about it and teaching people to do it.

Congratulations to BLT33 for the FTF

 

Please be respectful of the area.

Happy Caching
