Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates.
Geocaching is indeed a global treasure hunting game.  People travel many miles to find caches.  I traveled considerable miles around the world in my adventures with my job and the Marines.  It would have been real cool to have had geocaching around when I travelled but I wasn't introduced into the game until last year.  I have traveled over 1 million miles but it took me 30 years to complete the task.
Stealth is extremely important.

Here are some of the most travelled people in the world:
A= Meet John in La Habana. He traveled 1732608 miles around the world in a plane over the last 11 years.
B= Azulelos has him beat with 3058846 miles of world travel in 15 years (a world record). He lives vicariously through himself. He once taught his German shepherd to bark in Spanish.
C= John Brown comes in second with 2205478 miles. He is an All-American.
D= Abbot John Islib is dead last with 493994 miles but he has only traveled since 2009. He will soon be a contender because he is still quite young.
E= Herzliya Marina. barely loses to John Brown with 2197134 miles.
F= Franziska is doing very well with 1222303 miles since he has also started travelling in 2009.
