Geocache Description:

Parking is available at the Freedom aquatic and fitness center. The trail head is near the northwest corner of the building. The cache is about a 1/3 of a mile walk from the parking lot along pretty level terrain. After logging your find please replace the cache just as you found it.

This cache is hidden on a 1.2 mile loop tail that is open to the public. It is on the Piedmont trail located on the Prince William Campus of George Mason University. The trail is great for walking, hiking, bird watching or biking. Dogs are also allowed as long as they are on a leash.

This area is used in conjunction with the EDGE which is part of MASON's Center for team and organizational learning. The EDGE teaches critical thinking skills, team work and creative problem solving skills. As you walk toward the cache you will see many of the 'elements' that are used to teach these skills. Many of these elements are marked with no trespassing signs, please respect the signs and do not go on the marked elements but feel to take a look at them.

In order to claim this find you'll have to use some critical thinking skills of your own and think a bit outside of the box.

This cache was placed with permission from George Mason University and the center for team and organizational learning.

Congrats to reedkickball for the FTF!!
