This cache contains a unique stamp which must stay with the cache. Use this stamp to mark your passport. This stamp is NOT a trade item. Some of the items in the cache are park souvenirs and do not need to be replaced with a trade item.
These geocaches were completely covered at the time of placing them. Please be sure to rehide them in the same manner to prevent accidental discovery by muggles. Thank you.
One of three Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park Challenge Caches. This geocache is located along the portion of Andy’s Trail marked in red. Easiest access is from the parking area near the Sunset Pavilion. Use a park trail map. From the Sunset Pavilion, follow the trail west through the field, along the tree line and into the woods at the bottom of the field. The geocache is well off the trail between benches 8 and 9. This cache has SWAG items that you do not need to trade for. Please take one if you wish.
From 1971-73, a young (13-14 year old) Mr. Science lived in Washington, DC. I was attending Georgetown University studying science (DUH!). My father, an MD/PhD in virology, was working a hush-hush stint with the CIA, something to do with Chinese bats. He couldn’t tell us anything, but I overheard a phone conversation once. Well, I fell in love, my first, with a girl who lived nearby named Regan. She was . . . well . . . different. Anyway, long story short, my father refused to finish his project, some moral dilemma, and he quit and we moved back to NY. Regan and I kept in touch for a short time, but then she suddenly stopped writing back and I never heard from her again. I dedicate this geocache to my first love!
