This is a smallish cache. Container is camo-ish with the actual log in a film cannister inside (double-waterproofing).
“The Patton Museum is the Armor Branch Museum for the U. S. Army. It began from a collection of captured equipment that was sent to Fort Knox for testing and evaluation during World War II. Since many of the items came from the Third Army Era, the collection became known as the Patton Collection. In 1949, a museum was formed and dedicated to General George S. Patton, Jr. Since that time, the collection has grown to include Armor from all nations, from World War I to Desert Storm.”

Cache is located on the museum grounds as you stroll about looking at big military equipment and the park honoring various units (some of them Engineers!). There are many famous unit’s commemorated here that fought in the past and continue to defend freedom today.
November 30, 2005: This cache has been re-hidden in a slightly different location. I'm allowing re-finds from this date forward, but please stop by the museum too - you'll be glad you did.
