This cache is 1 in a series of 2 caches (along with GC2Q0B1) placed on this park that the City of Manassas completed in 2010. This park is situated right by the airport, the traintracks & Prince William Parkway... Hence the name.
It's a small park with a short walking path leading to the center, then a small circular path with a few benches and trashcans. The cache is not along the path. There is considerable bushwacking needed to get to this cache. On any old-timey map of Manassas, this wooded area would be labeled as "HERE BE THORNS" (AND TICKS, a helpfull geocacher has told me)... because there are a bunch of them.
Public parking lot is at 38°44'12.31"N 77°31'1.82"W, right behind the only building on the road. Entrance is shared with the building, so do not be afraid of trespassing.
Much thanks to the City Of Manassas Neighborhood Services for approving this geocache.
When hiding this cache, I went in on the footpath, then bushwacked through tons of thorns. You may find it easier to walk around the edge of the woods and enter close to the cache. But that would be cheating. ;-)
This cache location will give you a view of a bit of the airport. If you watch, you will be able to see planes taking off and landing behind the buildings. Also, there are active train tracks running close by & a road is visible...
Cache is a small rubbermaid container with a locking lid. I very poorly spray-painted a camo pattern on it.
