Geocache Description:

DO NOT GO TO THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE, THEY ARE NOT THE COORDINATES FOR THE CACHE AND WILL ONLY TAKE YOU TO ROUGHLY IN THE AREA OF THE LEXINGTON PARK LIBRARY WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CACHE OR ITS LOCATION!

This cache is hidden away somewhere in southern Maryland. To solve the mystery of the cache location, you must track down the Lost My Way Travel Bug. Hopefully it will remain in the southern Maryland area (St. Mary's County and lower Charles and Calvert Counties). On this travel bug, you will find the coordinates to the cache and the key to open it. If either is missing when you locate the Travel Bug, please contact us immediately! After you've located the mystery cache and have logged your visit, drop off the Lost My Way Travel Bug in another area cache as quickly as possible so other cachers can have a chance to locate it as well. THIS CACHE COULD BE EXPOSED FROM A DISTANCE SO PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN PLACING IT BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION - THANKS!!
