Fed Soars to 10K: The Black Box Traditional Cache

This cache is to honor fed who has found caches in nearly all of the 50 states and in dozens of other countries.  Along the way, he has accumulated 10,000 finds!

Since fed served our country as a flight instructor for the US Army, the friends of fed thought it would be appropriate to create a "Black Box" to honor him. Until recently, we thought a Flight Data Recorder, aka Black Box was black! But alas, we discovered that the real ones are orange! Well, an orange box in the woods would be way too easy to find, so the outside of the box is black and only the inside is orange.  As you find this cache, please pass along your congratulations to fed and his partner known as his “dive buddy.”

Using the trailhead waypoint, there is an easily walkable trail almost all the way to GZ.
