Here is a series of caches that celebrates one of the coolest models of cars ever built, the Ford Thunderbird. I've never owned one, but one day I'd love to buy and old classic example. I'd cruise from cache to cache with the top down! Man, that would be the life.

The Thunderbird Feeling
A break-in occurred at 2:30 AM on June 17, 1972 at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters office in the Watergate Office Building in Washington, D.C. Five men were caught and arrested. This was the beginning of the end for the Nixon Administration, as this story would remain in the national headlines for the next few years. Top movies of the year included: "The Godfather," "The Poseidon Adventure," "What's Up Doc?," and "Deliverance."
