Metro Branch Trail - Woodies Warehouse Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

mellow_cello: I was very excited to place this cache, since it highlights some of the changes that we're seeing here in DC and points out a cool artifact of the past. I also love this bike trail - it needs more caches! However, despite my leaving a few notes (and the hint says "Don't leave the trail"), I can't seem to stop people from poking around nearby where unfortunately there are discarded needles. And yes I've spoken with the city about this. And the last straw was that there is now a mini-dumpster directly in front of the cache location, where dog walkers are discarding their little bags. Eew. I don't want to direct people to a dumpster. So archiving.

Geocache Description:


Welcome to NOMA, one of DC's newly burgeoning urban neighborhoods.   This cache's location containing representations of DC's past, present and future. In the shadow of the former Woodward and Lothrup Warehouse (with its great neon sign), and right next to the NOMA-Gallaudet Metro station.  Meanwhile, 150 M St. SE is under construction across the street.

The cache is located along the Metropolitan Branch Trail, which stretches from Union Station and the Brookland neighborhood. The trail follows streets until M Street, where it takes an elevated path along the rail line.

To access the cache, walk up the ramp from M Street (see waypoint). There are also some stairs that lead up here from L street. Parking might be difficult in this area, but the cache is easily accessible by bike or foot.
