Geocache Description:

Located close to the White Pine Loop trail in Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Regional Park near Leesburg. A nice walk through the woods with pleasant views over the Potomac. The walk should be very pretty during the Fall.

The cache is a medium-sized tupperware container 18"x9"x6" with a white lid. It is located about 20 yards off the White Pine Loop trail.

This is the first cache we have hidden. In addition to a log book and disposable camera, the cache originally contained a few paperbacks, a cuddly chicken in a sweater, half a dozen small toys for young children, and a small container with a selection of European coins; 50p from the UK, 100 Italian Lire, 1 Austrian Schilling, 1 French Franc, 1 Dutch Guilder, 20 Belgian Francs, 2 Deutschmarks, 20 Greek Drachmas and 1 Spanish Peseta.

The cache originally contained The Wanderer and his own log book. The Wanderer is small and cuddly and was relocated by us from the West Coast from a cache in the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California. The Wanderer is famous in Oregon and California having been featured in newspaper articles! He originated at Crater Lake Oregon, and spent time in Nevada, Northern California and finally Southern California before we fulfilled his request to travel East. He acquired a travel bug (102868) and was last spotted in Florida.

Adoption update:

Park is open dawn to dusk. 

The container is now a painted regular size plastic jar. The conditions at ground zero have likely changed since the original placement. The coordinates have been updated to reflect the current location. The original cache listing remains unchanged except for this note and the hint. Glad to help keep an old 2001 jasmer hide going. Please rehide as you found it. Thanks!
