From Chris’s email at cache@goruck.com. My son and I found the hat, what do you think? We love it and are fans for life now, thanks for the drop / Chris – thanks for hunting, thanks for the pic, and the story.

Wildrose Kennels, Oxford, Mississippi
GORUCK is full of dog lovers, so when we heard from far and wide about Wildrose and its passion for breeding and training the ‘finest gundogs in America’, we had to check it out. Blake gave us a full tour and we were thoroughly impressed with the trainers (Patrick pictured with Duke), the property and, of course, the labs.
GR Cache #5 FOUND, New Orleans, Louisiana
From Jimmy: “Lived here forever, nice call on the cache drop right off Bourbon St. Love the hat and what you guys are doing. Come back and leave a bag next time.” Thanks for hunting, Jimmy. (PS tell your photographer not to be afraid of the flash if we do!)
Taylor Grocery & Restaurant, Taylor, Mississippi
Taylor Grocery is worth the drive, and the wait, from wherever you are. The catfish is a plenty good fish for anybody – so said Mark Twain – and while we agree, this is the best we’ve had, anywhere. Mississippi blackened followed by homemade peach cobbler (our friendly neighbors at dinner said “you can’t go wrong with that in the south”), and an atmosphere full of happy families and kids eating ice cream while a trio sings away, full of audience participation. We were happy to sing along, sign the guest books and the wall, and wish there were more places with such charm, and such customs.
New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans is one of our faves. We showered off the dirt before hitting the town: live music at a blacksmith shop bar, local cigars (local from Little Havana, that is), new friends to smoke and joke with, and an utterly peaceful New Orleans to wake up to, home of the best beignets around. We’ll be back.
GR Cache #5, New Orleans, Louisiana
GR CACHE #5. We hide GORUCK gear. You find GORUCK gear, and keep it. Fifth dead drop: Lat/Long Coordinates (plug them into your GPS): 29°57'29.16"N 90° 4'2.25"W . GR TAC is in the courtyard of our favorite peaceful enclave just off Bourbon St. Send us the story to cache@goruck.com. Happy Hunting.
