Geocache Description:

Small Peanut Butter jar. Easy Hike. BYOP

We seem to celebrate the stars in our favorite team sports but we seem to forget those who ride the pine. No matter what the league, the National Hockey League, the National Football League, the International league, the old American Football League or the Federal League. They are always there. The other players whom the stars can not win without. The back-ups, the reserves, whatever you want to call 'em.

To pay homage I dedicate this cash to them.
