Rock n Robin Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

2Wheel'in: MooseMaMa and I hiked Algonkian Park today, perfect hiking weather. I decided it was time for Rock n Robin to go -- it had a great 5 year run. Many thanks to all that hunted it, I really enjoyed reading your logs. Both containers were removed, and the contents of the final will be recycled into some other cache.

Geocache Description:

Level terrain, a fairly decent hike, a little bushwhacking, a stream crossing or two (you decide)...and a Bonus.

This cache was placed for the NoVAGO Spring Fling - Redux Event GC1BHNG.

A 2 stage multi-cache placed in Algonkian Regional Park, Loudoun County, Virginia. The park is managed by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA). Containers are “different”, one is slightly hidden, the other is in plain view...you do not need to move much of anything, or tear up the landscape to find them. Bring a writing instrument...you'll need it to write down the coordinates you'll find in Stage 1, and to both sign the log, and write down coordinates you'll find in the final stage.

PLEASE NOTE: The second/final stage contains the coordinates for a Bonus cache named “Robin‘s Nest”, please do not pass those coordinates to other cachers...let them earn their Bonus.

PLEASE NOTE AGAIN: The “Robin’s Nest” coordinates are at the top of the log in the second/final container. It’s not necessary nor desirable to move the second/final stage container from its location, you can access the log by unscrewing the container at the rear.

There are numerous approaches to the stages of this cache: some are dry, some are wet, all require a little bushwhacking!! I logged over 3 miles placing the containers, but there is another approach that could lessen that distance to just a little over 1 mile.

Park hours are dawn to dusk, do NOT hunt this or the Bonus cache at night.


The chief bird standing at the birdbath stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
Start goin' steady and bless my soul,
He out-bopped the Buzzard and the Oriole

He rocks in the treetops all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing this song
Every little bird, every little bee
Loves to hear the Robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee
Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee
Yeah go Rockin' Robin, really gonna rock tonight©
