This cache is hidden in Lake Fairfax Park, a FCPA Park with a
wealth of attractions, as well as peaceful green spaces. It
complies fully with the geocaching guidelines released by the
FCPA.
SNAP-CRACKLE-POP…..no, not the breakfast cereal, but
rather the sound that this monarch made as it crashed to Earth. I
wonder if anyone was there to hear it? If not…I bet it still
made noise!!
Begin your hike from the parking area (waypoint provided), and
follow the gravel path around the lake shoreline, do NOT
attempt to approach the cache from the reserved campground area on
top of the hill. Camping area "A", and Group Camping areas 1 and 9
are restricted to registered campers.
It’s an easy hike suitable for kids of all ages, with a
short but...steep elevation gain as you approach GZ, round trip
distance is approximately 0.6 miles. The cache container is just 5
feet off the trail, and is hidden in a very traditional manner. The
location sees lots of foot, and bicycle traffic, so please be
"Muggle Aware" and cover the cache well when you replace it.
Last, but not least: No thorns, no ticks, no poison ivy!
Fairfax County Parks are open daily, dawn to dusk, please do
NOT hunt this cache at night or any other time the park is
closed.

| NOTICE:
Please be respectful of the posted park hours. If you enter the
park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you can be
ticketed or arrested and will put the future of geocaching in the
parks in jeopardy. |
