D.C. has a street named for each of the 50 states, plus Puerto Rico. As dedicated D.C. geocachers, we have made it our mission to hide a geocache on each of these streets.
This cache is placed near entrances to the Glover Archbold Trail. This is a 3-mile trail that runs from Wisconsin Ave. and Van Ness St. all the way down to the C&O Canal Towpath and Capital Crecent Trails. It's a beautiful trail for a morning jog, afternoon family hike, or evening dog walk, and runs along a tributary of the Potomac River called Foundry Branch.
A little history thanks to wikipedia:
Glover Archbold Park is named after Charles Carroll Glover and Anne Mills Archbold, who donated its land, in 1924.[3] In 1947, Senator Carl Hayden proposed to build a four-lane divided highway called Arizona Avenue through the Glover Archbold Park, from Canal Road in Georgetown to Wisconsin Avenue in Friendship Heights.[4] [Thankfully this was not built, preserving the land for public use.] Glover played a critical role in the creation of Rock Creek Park, the National Zoo, the National Cathedral, and Potomac Park. *You'll find a mural dedicated to him near our Wisconsin Ave. cache!
YOU WILL LIKELY NEED TWEEZERS TO GET THE LOG OUT! This is common with these types of containers. Don't forget to bring something to write with, too.
