2. Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular: road sign post structure and design

Sums up the reason this one is getting archived ... a tip of the hat to the cacher in the Tidewater area responsible for shutting down innumerable caches and for once again showing just how "ignorant" some people are ...

156 finds in just under 5 years ... sad to see it go ...

Geocache Description:

A new bridge, opened recently in Loudoun County, now has a well guarded cache.

When I first moved here, Loudoun County Parkway between Redskins Park (home of the alleged football team) and Route 7 was a dirt road with a little one lane bridge. And an interesting bridge it was. I recall a couple times taking fire trucks across that bridge on calls and being told "just don't slow down" ... well, the bridge was fine and carried the load but it was destined for extinction due to the rapid growth in the area. Last year, the road was closed and expanded to 4 paved lanes with a new bridge.

I think I may be slipping a bit in my old age as this is a very easy cache and dash placed on one of those important days in a person's life. Call it old age ... or a sympathy cache considering what else I placed today

Enjoy the quick grab and a ride down the newly paved connector between Route 7 and Waxpool road.

Please be careful as there is a good bit of fast moving traffic in the area.
