Geocache Description:

To help commemorate the inauguration of our 44th President and as a precursor to the voodoo clan's upcoming family vacation to Washington D.C., we have placed a new series in honor of this great nation's leaders.

All of the caches in this series have been placed along mountain roads where tree cover is a frequent obstruction to satelites. Some will be very easy to locate and others will require a little extra effort. Fire up your gpsr and your geosenses and have a great time!
