Kalorama Garden Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ChyronJay: This cache has acquired some bad mojo. The location is compromised, the container and its contents keep changing and this afternoon it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Much as I liked this hide, it has outlived its usefulness and will have to go.

Geocache Description:

I recommend you don't leave trackables here. Unfortunately, quite a few trackables have gone missing from this cache. I'm not sure whether it's cachers not logging their bugs and coins or perhaps a thieving neighbor who has decided to start a collection. Either way, drop trackables at your risk. Apologies to those of who you have had bugs or coins go missing here.

I no longer live in D.C. and haven't officially had anybody take over the cache, so I'm not able to maintain it anymore. Cachers have mentioned that the cache is no longer my PVC container but is now a glass jar. I'm not sure who took it upon themselves to change out a perfectly good, weatherproof, indestructible container for something that will probably wind up broken in the garden (and to remove the brand-new log in favor of a newspaper, apparently?) but that's what seems to have happened. So I can't really lay claim to this cache anymore. Below is the former description:

Please replace this cache in the hiding spot where you found it. Many people use this space and the hiding spot is the only thing keeping the cache safe from muggles. Thanks!

Cache has a limited amount of space for small trade items, but please save some room for travel bugs.

You shouldn't need to disturb anything to find the cache. Please be respectful of the area -- it is maintained by local residents. They have been kind enough to give their blessing to the cache. :-) Other muggle activity is low to medium depending on time of day and the weather.

I recommend visiting this cache in the nicer months of the year, but it's available anytime. 10-minute walk across Duke Ellington Bridge from Woodley Park Metro stop. Explore our beautiful neighborhood if you have time. Bustling Adams Morgan is just a few blocks to the east as well. Happy hunting!

I have moved away from D.C. and would really like someone to take over this listing. It would be extremely simple for anybody within the District or even Maryland or Virginia. I think it's a great cache, as do most of the people who visit it. Please send me an e-mail if you could help me out. One of my friends might be able to tend to the cache if it is in need of repair, but it basically has no owner. I added a new logbook on 5/19/11.
