How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


Parking available on neighborhood streets with no restrictions.. However, as it is a residential area, please limit your searching here to reasonable hours where pedestrians will not raise suspicions. Also, traffic around here can be busy as most Staffordians commute up to DC early in the AM and return home late in the afternoon/evening. Be aware of your surroundings!

Cheap log only - please bring writing implement.

You're seeking a hanging camo-painted pill bottle.

Stafford is seeing a lot of construction...This specific location is NOT undergoing construction, but you can safely and clearly see the construction from GZ.

As an aside, I noted that there are geocaching challenges based on the names of caches, and it seems that caches beginning with "X" are relatively rare.  So if you're in the hunt for that challenge, here you go..

So, please XCUSE OUR DUST as we tear up the countryside and put up a parking lot.. or something like that.

As of 12/14/14 - due to the DNFs yesterday, I went to GZ to discover that this is actually gone this time.. So temporarily replaced with a larger container. Note that hint is dead giveaway. Didn't updated coordinates, but placed within 10 feet of previous hide. Geosense will give you the find.

FTF Congratulations to robbitandpaul!!! woohoo!
