Geocache Description:

Located outside of Cathedral grounds and not in the street. Micro container, log only. BYOP and please use stealth! Please replace the cache where you found it.


NOTE: January 2026 - due to continued muggling issues, we have moved the hide and camouflaged the container to make it less obvious. This has resulted in updated coordinates, updated hint and a somewhat higher difficulty. If you are using logs, photos or a PAF from someone who found it before 2026, it is not the same hide or location.

Washington, DC, is a wonderful city with a lot to see and do. We wanted to highlight some of our favorite places by placing caches nearby. MGT stands for Mis-Guided Tours, a moniker we received when taking out-of-town family around the DC area and making many u-turns in the process.

The Washington National Cathedral was our first idea for this series because it is our favorite place in all of Washington, DC. Bring some binoculars and see if you can find the grotesque (similar to a gargoyle) that depicts Darth Vader. You can read more on the Cathedral website.

Obviously, this is an urban cache so stealth is a must.
