"It's Not About The Numbers..." Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

EdZilla433: I recieved a call and a visit from W-3 Chief Warrant Officer John Kaplin from the US Army.

My cache site is to be used as a military training zone for the next several weeks, and my cache was found during a security sweep.

Rather than press my luck with Homeland Security, I have been convinced that archiving this cache is in my best interest.

I did get to ride in a very cool M113A2 transport vehicle, which makes getting back from the cache site soooo much easier!!

Happy caching!!

It's time the cachers of the area were tested

to see what we are made of!

 

I have placed cache for only the bravest geocachers!!

This is not a numbers-padding, drive up microcache.

This is a TOUGH, full-sized cache that will make you
