Geocache Description:


Although we are not new to owning Jeeps, myself and EastCoastRoach have never owned a Wrangler.  With 3 Jeep Cherokees under our belts, it was time to own a Jeep to better suit our adventurous lifestyle, our love of the outdoors and our off-roading tendencies .  So on April 4, 2025, we became the proud owners of a 2023 Jeep Wrangler (Rubicon) and joined the community of Jeep enthusiasts.  What we soon came to realize, is that owning this Jeep was more than just driving a vehicle, it was an invitation to a rich culture.  From secret waves to gifting rubber ducks there was so much to learn about being a Jeep owner. 

This series of mystery caches is a compilation of the many "Jeep Fun Facts" we've learned and coincidently, turned into a JEEP THEMED GEOART!  This PARK AND GRAB series is made up entirely of MICRO SIZED cache containers that are placed along a dirt road that you most definitely do not need a Jeep to travel on. We hope you have some fun with this series and learn a fun fact or two about Jeeps along the way. 

Solve for X in the Fun Fact below by clicking on the photo. 

Fun Fact:  If you don’t know, the Purple Heart is awarded to soldiers who are injured or killed in the line of duty. It’s generally reserved for real people but the occupants of the Jeep were so impressed with it’s service that they felt it deserved the honour, it's the first vehicle in the US Military to receive a medal for its X.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
