Geocache Description:

A camouflaged container hidden near a path next to Clemyjontri Park in McLean, Virginia. There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates, but if you have young kids and bring them you will find yourself there eventually. Solve the puzzle to find the actual coordinates for the cache. Not available after dark; see posted hours below.

Ty is a preschooler but has already done a lot of caching as part of the Serrabou family. He was anxious to hide one of his own and this is one of his favorite places to visit: Clemyjontri Park. He picked the name of the cache too, which you will have to ask him about. The mind of a 4.5 year old!

You do not need to go on or near the playground to find the cache. There is ample parking and the trails are in the opposite direction of the play area. The container has some trade items and a dollar coin for the first to find.

The hide conforms to the guidelines set by the Fairfax County Park Authority; express permission was granted for this park. Please note that geocachers must abide by all Park Authority rules, regulations, and other restrictions. This specifically includes park access times. The park is only open from 7 a.m. to Dusk. Night Caching in Park Authority parks is expressly forbidden.

Here are a few pictures of our latest visit. Study them to determine the coordinates for the hidden cache. Good luck!
