Located near Bon Air Park, Arlington County, VA 22205. Follow paved walkway about 3/4 mile to get near this cache. It is also located near North Roosevelt Street at Four Mile Run. Once you reach the sign describing Brandymore Castle, you have to go off the pavement.
I replaced this cache after the original container was taken (summer 2009). Hopefully there will be many more enjoyable finds from this location. This cache is in memory of Hurricane Katrina. The Arlington LDS Church made over 400 personal hygiene kits, working until nearly midnight on the night of their arrival for some of the people who were brought up to this area.
This landmark was first described in 1724 by surveyor Charles Broadwater as “The Rock Stones called Brandymore Castle.” Research in 1972 established that the natural formation matched the boundary descriptions on the 18th Century Land grants from Lord Fairfax to William Gunnel, James Going and Simon Pearson, George Harrison, John Caryle and John Dalton, and Captain Charles Broadwater. The origin of the name “Brandymore” is unknown, but this rocky outcrop resembles the collapsed battlements of an old castle with Four Mile Run serving as a moat.
