This Day in History - March 22 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Hooclass2002: I always enjoyed this cache and the quiet spot to enjoy the valley from up here. A tree near GZ has started moving down the hill. Cool to see how it was growing through the rocks. Container removed.

Geocache Description:

Sixth in a series of well...some random facts about "This Day in History". This one isn't quite like the others, check the terrain rating.  A decently tough climb after a sometimes muddy walk is required.


I don't know what my inspiration for this one was.  Perhaps it was a lot of time working on Moby caches.  Perhaps it was DerekTiffany's Castle of the Ancients.  Maybe it was just walking by and saying "Gee, that looks like a fun place to find a cache!"  There's a good view from up here.  I watched a blue heron stalk lunch in the creek for a bit.  There's evidence of deer everywhere.

On March 22:

– 1894 - The first playoff game for the Stanley Cup starts. (Go HAWKS!)

1963 - The Beatles' first album, Please Please Me, is released in the United Kingdom.

1972 - The US Congress sends the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification

Its also the earliest Easter can be, though it last happened in 1818, and will not happen again until 2285.

You're looking for a camo'd peanut butter jar.  I'm not sure about night caching or hunting concerns. I didn't see any information on either, however the cacher should always cache responsibly.

For more info on the history or future of this area, visit the nearby caches of Future Neabsco Trail or better yet Tayloe's Iron Works...you won't be disappointed.

Lastly, feel free to share other tidbits on this day in history, including your own. Is it your birthday, anniversary, cool caching experience?

Congrats to Serrabou and Roo for FTF!
