Geocache Description:

Build it and they will come? It makes me wonder why they built the foot-bridge (N 30° 53.893 W 77° 05.277) over Rte. 66 off the Custis Trail in Arlington VA… It does not seem to go anywhere but some random woods. This cache is located in those woods between Rte 66 and Spout Run. Park on Vietch St (by Bergman’s cleaners) and find the Custis trail. You can also walk or ride your bike from either Spout Run (by the Giant Foods) or Key Bridge. The rest should be easy...


If you do take another approach, check out the foot-bridge anyway.

The cache is a 3 Qt. Tupperware container.

Original contents:
  • Logbook w/ pens
  • A full Version of the free RedHat Linux 7.3 OS (on 4 CD’s I burned)
