Geocache Description:

The seventh in a series of caches I hope will bring attention to DC's wealth of "hidden" mural art.

"Scout," by Kelly Towles was commissioned in 2010 by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, DC Creates Public Art Program.


Kelly Towles' work is another not exactly "hidden" mural, but it's a bit off the beaten path and the largest mural in the series so far. The fenced lot is used for parking by nearby church owners so may be more accessible during church services, though it is not necessary to enter the lot to claim the cache. The U Street metro is close for commuters and there's plenty of street parking. Some stealth may be necessary to keep the neighborhood muggles at bay.

Bonus: The artist published a nice video:

Scout: A new mural by street artist Kelly Towles in his hometown of Washington DC. The mural and short film explore a DC neighborhood with a child like sense of exploration. A quick take on what most people should do in their own area of the city.

As usual, please remember to replace just as found, and don't forget your writing utensil -- enjoy!

** Congrats to -CLiM- and -Elle- for the FTF! **
