Geocache Description:

This is the second cache in the Rock Run Valley.  The Rock Run SVP map (See Related webpage above) shows an access right of way from Vendome Drive, but it is very narrow.  Fortunately, an adjacent neighbor was in her driveway, and confirmed it was next to her neighbor's property.  The land drops off sharply at this point and there is no sign and no trail.  The narrow right of way is just to the right of a green monument with TV molded into its top. 


Rock Run Stream Valley Park is a narrow, winding park that follows the Rock Run stream along the western and southern edge of the Avenel golf course. It then widens as it passes to the north of the Carderock and Palisades neighborhoods, tapering again along the eastern edge of the Naval Surface Warfare Center to the C&O Canal. The 143 acre park is undeveloped for active recreation, and was acquired by M-NCPPC in 1981.  

I am placing caches to highlight the public access points to this little visited park.

The cache is well hidden down near the stream in a beautiful area. Those who have found my earlier caches will recognize the container. This deep in the valley and forest, my gps accuracy was plus or minus 32 feet.  

Congratulations to Zorrobarnes for the First to Find.
