A Veteran's Tribute Traditional Cache
lyonden_ut: Too many caches in this area. Will find a new location and bring it back to life.
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a tribute to all the vets who have or are currently serving. This cache is set up in time for Veteran's Day (Nov. 11)
*** NOTE: CONTAINER IS NOW AN AMMO CAN DUE TO WEATHER RELATED PROBLEMS. SO, NOT AIRBORNE NOR BATTLESHIP GRAY, BUT CAMMO'ED BROWN ***
I am a second generation Navy Retiree, and would like to place this as a way to support our troops, former, present and future. The tokens inside are a tribute to GBOTS, who inspired this cache. Please do not leave anything other than a signature item and the wandering Travel Bug. Please take a token to have with you as a reminder of those who have paid for our freedom.
Like our Vets, you will have to go all the way for this cache. The location was found for several reasons:
It is located near water for the Navy and Coast Guard.
It is off the ground for the Air Force.
It is located in the bush for the Army and Marines.
It is colored as close as I could get to Battleship Gray, the color of the ships that transported my grandfather to WWI, and late father-in-law and great uncle to WWII.
The location was also at the end of the Jordan River Trail in Bluffdale, which requires a bit of a walk, for which GBOTS is known for. (GBOTS, sorry it's not the normal 5 mile walk you like, it's only 4 3/4 round trip)
To get here, start at the 12600 south parking lot for the parkway. There are several caches in the area, so make it worth your time and grab these while out here... but plan the time for such.
