Cache Across the Avenues, DC Edition: Kentucky Ave.
The CAA (Cache Across the Avenues) DC Edition: This is a series of caches that will take you on a caching tour of all four quadrants of the District of Columbia. One cache will be hidden on each of the 50 State Avenues (actually 48 Avenues + a Street and a Drive). These caches each contain a code word that will lead you to one final cache (to be placed) located in our nation's capitol upon completion of the series.
About this cache: The cache is located on Kentucky Ave. in the neighborhood of Capitol Hill. From the cache, you can see Lincoln Park, possibly our favorite location in all of DC. We lived here for 15 years and spent much of our kids’ childhoods in this park. It’s a wonderful, vibrant place for all to enjoy.
The open space that is now Lincoln Park was part of Pierre L'Enfant's original 1791 plan for the District of Columbia and was intended for public use. In 1867 when Congress officially named the park Lincoln Square, it was the first site to bear the name of the martyred President. You can find two monuments in Lincoln Park, the original Lincoln Memorial and a statute commemorating Mary McLead Bethune.
