The cache is located in Gower Park. The posted hours of operation: closed 9:00PM to 5:00AM. You are searching for a magnetic key holder. Please place this one back exactly where you found it. BYOP. Muggles can be a concern of course. First to find: Braelyn grace!!!
This cache is placed very near to the location of two previous caches: Heavy Metal and Driving Miss Daisy (a very clever multi). You should have no trouble locating the 'inspiration' for this cache. Locating the actual container could be a bit more difficult. Due to several recent containers going missing I have had to move the location slightly. The hint is different and there are a couple changes to the description. This one used to be in 'plain sight' but now -- not. Caution-- This one is so very easy to make harder than it actually is. It is not necessary to climb up on or under the vehicle. If this vehicle were a ship the container would be located on the port side. One more thing--this one 'holds no currency'.
Back in December of 1944 a large bulge was developing in the line of the Allied forces fighting the German forces in World War II. In the course of the battle General McAuliffe and his forces were surrounded by the enemy in the cross-roads town of Bastogne. When asked to surrender by the German commander he replied: "Patton's arrival is pending. . .ahh NUTS!!" (or something like that). When General Patton heard of McAuliffe's reply it inspired him to push his 3rd Army forces harder than than he usually did to reach Bastogne and relieve the U.S. Army forces.
