Geocache Description:


As you're hunting for this GC, hum Alice Cooper's classic rock song of the same name.  During the *school* day transportation hours, slow down or else you'll miss this GC.  Please drive the *posted* speed limit.  (The bold font words provide additional clues that wouldn't fit in the hint box.)

 

This site used to be an elementary school.  I spotted this site while walking along the Elizabeth River Trail on the opposite side of the field.  I saw 14-16 kids playing kickball.  No adults were around.  This suggests that it might not have been a city sponsored league or game.  I thought pickup ball games were a thing of the past. 

 

If you're the first to find, lucky you because I put a heavy challenge coin in there as your reward.  USCG brought me to the training center in Yorktown to help them fight COVID.  Semper Paratus!

 

The GC is big enough to hold challenge coin-sized items if you'd like to take or leave something.  

 

Reading the historical market plaque, I thought of my wife because she's an elementary school teacher.
