South Run Log Cabin Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

rlobecker: Decided to archive this cache. This was the second one we ever placed -- just over 6 years ago.

Our 'first generation' caches just aren't as good as our later caches, and this is certainly among the least interesting. This one was just never quite as good after the original host disappeared, and we've had to change placement a few times since. It also doesn't quite meet my standard of caches-I-would-enjoy-finding. This one is now sort of a PITA.

This cache also doesn't get a lot of visits (though there was an uptick over the past year). We enjoy these trails, but they just don't have a lot of caches to attract cachers. Over 6 years, there have been 73 finds -- which is one our lowest finds-per-day -- and the lowest for a traditional. Most of the finds here were in the first 18 months of its life.

So I think it is time to archive. Thanks to those who visited. Always enjoy reading the logs.

Geocache Description:


Our second hide...

This is hidden amongst logs, several feet off the South Run trail. There shouldn't be much vegetation to contend with. Take care; this does not require the movement or destruction of said logs. Geotool is already attached.

Only contains a log. Bring your own pen/pencil.

If you have the time, keep walking or biking across Hooes Road and past Lake Mercer, the South Run Rec Center, and onto Burke Lake.  There are many caches along the route.

Placed with permission from the Fairfax County Park Authority. Park hours are from dawn to dusk. Night caching is prohibited.

Congratulations to #1Fishingal for being the FTF.
