Geocache Description:

"Nation's Capital"  District of Columbia


Every time a soldier is buried, an Arlington Lady is present. There are about 65 Arlington Ladies, and since 1973, the Arlington Ladies have ensured that no Soldier is ever buried alone.

The Library of Congress, the biggest library in the country, contains 535 miles of bookshelves. In the Reading Room alone there are 45,000 reference books.

The Capitol has its own crypt. It is called that because Washington’s body was SUPPOSED to be entombed here. They even had holes dug for a viewing chamber where you could walk by and see him! But Washington’s wishes were to be buried at Mt. Vernon.


Great Seal of the United States
