I and my brother-in-law, who lives close to this cache, placed it here to add to the few in the area. But Vicksburg is so far away, you ask. Well he is a history buff and the siege of Vicksburg was a major turning point in the Civil War. And he lives close to the cache and has agreed to look after it for me. He and I have gone on several caching ventures although he has opted not to do it on his own.
So there you are. Lay siege to this little puppy and if you have the time and interest, Google the real event. I found it very interesting.
Congrats to hrc333 for FTF
