Geocache Description:

Another of my homemade cryptex-containers. Celebrating my 400th find. Along brand new paved path. Wheel chair good on path till last few feet to grab cache. While placing I saw the biggest copperhead snake, I have ever seen by the bridge. (cache is not a snake, nor by the bridge)BYOP

USS OMAHA SSN 692
688 class fast attack submarine.

I spent 4 years aboard this boat- travelling the world and being places we weren't supposed to be. Her keel was laid down on January 27 1973, launched February 21 1976, commisioned March 11 1978, and sadly Decommisioned and stricken from the fleet October 5th 1995- coincidently, the same day I was discharged from the Navy.

Please be respectful of this container, it is now my favorite. Have fun and happy hunting....
