Seven Hundred EightySeventh in the
Famous People (FP) Series -
Monica Lewinsky |
 |
| A series caches dedicated to those who have enjoyed 15 seconds of fame. |
With the assistance of a family connection, Monica Lewinsky got a job at the White House as an unpaid summer intern in the office of White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Lewinsky moved to Washington, D.C. and started the position in July 1995. She moved to a paid position in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs in December 1995 (not Head Intern as previously suggested).
In April 1996, Lewinsky's superiors transferred her from the White House to The Pentagon because they felt she was spending too much time around Clinton.
Lewinsky confided in a co-worker named Linda Tripp about her relationship with the President. Beginning in September 1997, Tripp began secretly recording their telephone conversations regarding the affair with Clinton. Tripp also convinced Lewinsky to save the gifts that Clinton had given her during their affair, and not to dry clean what would later be known as "the blue dress."
News of the Clinton–Lewinsky relationship broke in January 1998. On January 26, 1998, Clinton claimed "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" in a nationally televised White House news conference.
This two stage multi will require you to use items out of Stage 1 to find the cache and sign the log at Stage 2. Return the items to Stage 1 and replace as found. We suggest leaving Stage 1 open on the ground while completing Stage 2 so that it will be easier to make sure it is replaced in the same spot. Also, an easier approach to Stage 2 will be to go back out to the open, then walk around to find an opening in the trees that lead back to Stage 2. It's not much of a bushwhack at all if you do it that way.
All caches in this series are located on City Of Mesquite property. Highly recommend using the parking coordinates and doing the caches in numerical order. There are 10 caches total plus 1 bonus cache. The coordinates to the bonus cache are posted in only 1 of the caches so check the lids carefully. Round trip hike could be a short as 2.5 miles and there are no trails to speak of. Some ATV trails may come in handy occasionally, but best bet is to pretty much follow the little red arrow between caches. Download the track map to follow the route that was used to place the series.
