Geocache Description:


The cache name may sound strange but if you read the next paragraph and take note of the name of the road you are near, it will make sense!

The Watergate scandal was an infamous political event in 1972 involving President Richard Nixon hiring a team to break into the Democratic Party Washington, DC headquarters and planting eavesdropping devices to undermine the party's election efforts. Watergate was about a sitting U.S. President ordering an espionage operation on private citizens; this action eventually exposed President Nixon's abuse of power. The Watergate scandal, in simple terms, was when President Nixon and his senior advisors created a plan to spy on the Democratic Campaign to gain an advantage in the 1974 election. All the people who broke into the Watergate Hotel were arrested and the connections were made back to the White House.

The Watergate scandal was a significant event in American politics because of the loss of trust the government was already experiencing in the 1970s during the Vietnam War Era. The Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation afterward ushered in an era of no confidence and low trust from the public.

The cache container is a very small round container and contains a log only.  BYOP
