DCDPR: DC DPR is archiving the DPR - Fort cache series. Our initial focus will be to replace the archived EIGHT WARDS OF WASHINGTON, DC GEOTRAIL series with an Adventure Lab series. Once the Adventure Lab GeoTrail is reactivated and working smoothly, we will evaluate recreating the DPR - Fort series as a Adventure Lab series as well.
