Escape the Ordinary! Summer reading and geocaching once again have joined forces to guide you on an epic summer adventure. Read a book (or three) to discover new and wonderful places and people. Find a geocache to discover extraordinary places or caches in Arlington.
Arlington Public Library and SouthWest Arlington Geocachers have placed ten nine special caches for you to find. Find all ten nine caches and receive a commemorative tag (first 90 finders by July December 31st).
To find this cache, you will be escaping to a place of remembrance. Arlington honors its military men and women with this beautiful, large park and, particularly with this haunting memorial.
Take a moment to reflect, then carefully inspect the statue before you. How many pouches are on this soldier’s belt? Add that number to the latitude. Now, how many spent shell casings are scattered at his feet? Multiply that number by five and subtract it from the longitude.
If you would like to participate in the Adult Summer Reading Program and be eligible for additional fun prizes, pick up a reading log (from the library or in some of the caches) or enter online. Your goal is to read at least one hour this summer. All logs must be submitted by July 31st.
