Geocache Description:

A walk around a little known memorial designed to inspire the best in all of us.

Answers to 7 questions must be e-mailed/messaged to me to receive credit.

PLEASE DO NOT POST ANSWERS OR SPOILER PICS IN YOUR LOGS!


Cache Overview

Starting at the listed coordinates look down at your feet. A large brass plaque will explain the walk you are about to embark on, and the points of light highlighted throughout.

At each intersection the sidewalk will tell you which way to go. Beware that freshly fallen snow (a rarity in DC) can obstruct views.

While on the walk you will be asked to collect information. In the age of in the internet a skilled researcher might be able to collect many answers. However, two questions are posed that will require the cacher to be at the site to find the needed information. Logs from cachers who don't provide these answers will be deleted.

To claim your find please e-mail or message me the answers to the following questions:

Question 1: Who sports a symbol resembling a wagon wheel?

Question 2: Who was known as the "A _ _ _ _ of the B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "? What was this individual's enduring legacy?

Question 3: Find the individual who took inspiration from older siblings and a "little chap". On the wall near his tribute will be a brass plaque. What is the last name of the architect listed?

Question 4: Who really stresses Freedom, Freedom, Freedom?

Question 5: Who decried the "Dastardly"?

Question 6: Who extolled the "Pen" over the "Lance"?

Question 7: Find the individual who was bitterly abused. Look across the street. Whose "company" does he reside in the shadow of? Note: answer does not begin with "M".

NOTE: Questions are posed in order of the points of light you will pass.

No pictures are required, but a photo of you at the starting coords with the big plaque on the sidewalk in the background will go a good way to help overlook a wrong answer or two.
