Another "national treasure" that is worth the effort of visiting! No traditional caches could be placed here because of security--but this one is worth the effort. UPDATES TO PRICES ARE CURRENT As OF 11/2010. Check for prices, and they sometimes change without notice! STILL A VERY WORTHWHILE VISIT! :-)
To get to this cache, you’ll have to pay admission to this site, but I believe there are discount passes available. From start to finish it may take you 2 hours. This is a definite “must-do” for visitors in the city who have never visited this site. Many visitors have highly recommneded renting the AUDIO TOUR that is available for an additional $$ (I also highly recommend you use "Tony"--worth every penny) ENJOY!
Here is what you need to do to log this cache:
- Find the coordinates.
- Use the “tool” at the coordinates to “find” two additional national landmarks from this vantage point. If you TRUELY are at the exact coordinates, the answers are written on the "tool" so DO NOT EVEN THINK of writing me and saying we could not see because of poor visibility, we ran out of quarters, ALL of the vantage points have lighting at night, Use your phone or bring a flash light at night to READ the marker at the tool. Real cachers will find a way to find these answers! NO EXCUSES from armchair loggers. Sorry to be harsh, but I have had so many folks try to log this cache that did not even bother visiting.
- E-mail me back privately with your answer.
Don't post answers here even if encrypted. AND Lastly ( I shouldn't even have to say this...)NO "VIRTUAL VISITS" ALLOWED! You may only log this cache if you actually physically visit this national treasure landmark.
