“Loch Ness”
Insert: 2021 Jan 14
“Loch Ness Monster” was a brutal steep sandy hill located at Fort Story, VA Army Base, Amphibious Reconnaissance School (ARS). Marine Reconnaissance students would frequently have to negotiate this painful hill, while conducting physical training, rucksack runs, and hikes with 50+ lb. packs. We would firemans carry each other up this steep hill and would also have to carry logs up the face of it, during Log PT, while sinking helplessly into the sand. I named this geocache after “Loch Ness” because Simon Open Space Preserve trail, a 3.9mi, 718 ft. (elevation gain) hike is nearby, that reminds me of that memorable hill on the East Coast.
This geocache is dedicated to all members of the United States Armed Forces, all Warfighters, past, present and future.
Remarks:
Geocache has good cover and concealment, is urban masked and is mechanical.
Amplifying remarks:
Leave geocache better than you found it. Cache in, trash out. If you take something, leave something of equal or greater value. Only take trackables if you are willing to log it and keep it moving.
There’s a picnic table nearby if you want to bring a lunch. Stay safe, ALWAYS look for snakes, have fun and good luck.
Hint: “To sign the log, you must find the log.”
