Daddy - I wanna Pony! Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

2Wheel'in: Originally placed for NoVAGO's "Scorching Sortie to the Pony Barn" (GC2BMJ8) Summer Event almost 4 years ago - it's had a good run. Only found 67 times, with 3 DNFs...probably because it took some brain work to figure out where the final was[:P]. Many thanks to those who did hunt it, I enjoyed reading your logs. The area is open for a new cache, but please remember that the Reston Association requires notification before placing a cache. Both containers were removed, and the contents of the final will be recycled into another cache(s).

Geocache Description:

Placed to coincide with NoVAGO's "Scorching Sortie to the Pony Barn" (GC2BMJ8) Summer Event. A two stage multi-cache nestled in a beautiful green space known as “The Glade” in Reston, VA. Hard pack, and/or woodchip path, minimal elevation change, and almost no bushwhacking. Great for families.


"Daddy - I wanna Pony" Those words might strike dread into a Daddy’s heart, on the other hand they could mean double happiness. Getting a “Pony” is analogous to getting a “Boat“…purchasing either often means two of the happiest days of your life: the first when you acquire it; the second when you sell it!! This experience is different…you don’t have to maintain anything…I will.

Start your initial search near (but not in) the “Pony Barn” and once you find the Stage 1 container, you’ll have all you need to find the final, BUT here‘s where the D2.5 rating comes in (it's a little tricky) …you‘ll have to put on your thinking cap to determine the location of the final… - how many navigational terms are you familiar with?, and how's your metric conversion? Oh, by the way, just how well do you know the functions of your GPS receiver? The container size selected is “Regular” but that applies to the final only…Stage 1 is a micro, but it‘s a “bio-micro“ Bring a picnic lunch, then enjoy a nice stroll along a shaded pathway to find the cache. The final location showcases some of the recent Glade Run reclamation work done by the Reston Association.

Please do NOT hunt this cache at night, flashlights in the woods are bound to draw unwanted attention.
