Geocache Description:


Small Package Cache

This cache is hidden in a wooded area next to the USGS headquarters in Reston. It's pretty easy terrain but I'd be careful after a rain, it gets pretty muddy in there. I was getting around 20 foot accuracy on my GPS12. Waypoint was averaged.

The cache is a Yellow rectangular Rubbermaid container. I covered the container with green duct tape to try to blend it into the greenery. Please let me know if this cache needs maintenance. I'll fix it within a day or two.

It's a sad state of affairs... babawooziedah just mailed me and told me that the USGS folks have gotten spooked as well. They're asking for visiters to stop by their front lobby before visiting the cache. The cache is in the woods near their building and with all the BS going on in this world, I can understand. But it's a pretty sad note anyhow...

You can park in the USGS parking lot (provided they allow it) or across the street in one of the lots off of Edmund Halley Drive.

PLEASE CITO! This might make the USGS folks a little more eager to allow us in there!

Cache On!
