Geocache Description:


Welcome to the ABA (Abingdon to Bel Air) walking trail. This trail is loosely designed after the WNW (Westminster to New Windsor) Trail, but much shorter. Along this trail you can find a dozen or more caches. The puzzles are very, very easy, and local GeoCachers may not have to look up very many answers on the Internet. All questions can be answered by accessing information readily available on-line. Have fun! Be safe, particularly when crossing the road! The trail is approximately 3.5 miles – walkable in a couple or three hours, though the preferred method for most cachers is probably to solve all the so-called puzzles and to take two cars, dropping one at one end of the trail and driving the other to the other end. A considerable portion of your walk will be on sidewalks, or on low traffic roads. Many of the cache containers are of the same type, so you'll usually know what to look for.
