GCHZT8 THE CARROT (Traditional Cache) in Virginia, United States created by 2Wheel'in

This cache has been archived.

2Wheel'in: In place for 13.5 years, with 258 Finds, and 3 DNFs = a good run by any standard. The Reston Association has erected a fence in the area, and I don't want any geocachers to get into trouble for crossing over. It may be initial prep work for the Stream Bed Enhancement Program...in any event - I removed the cache today, contents will be recycled into another cache. Many thanks to all who've hunted "The Carrot"...I enjoyed reading your logs.

Geocache Description:

Located in Reston, VA woodlands hard beside Glade Run creek. This is the Carrot Cache. Terrain is level, and almost all hiking will be along paved multi-use trails. Ideal for walking, bicycling, or strolling hand in hand.

“The Carrot” is designed to entice you to walk the beautiful paved trails within the woodlands of Reston. The Terrain is mostly level, with only gentle grades, both the hike and the cache are “kid friendly” (hold hands at any street crossings). No thorns, no poison ivy, no stream crossings (except on bridges). The container is a large plastic peanut butter jar, camo tape applied. It is large enough for most trade items and Travel Bugs (6” high X 5” wide). Parking is available along adjacent residential streets and recreation area parking lots….please respect restricted and/or reserved parking areas. Cache placement should be accurate to within 3 or 4 meters; however, satellite reception may degrade when full leaf canopy is grown. Also, the cache location is in a low area and I had no horizon satellite coverage. If you have better coordinates, please feel free to post them. PATH NOTE: There is a "right way" and a "wrong way" to enter...if you're marching through a swamp, you're going in the "wrong way".

PLEASE NOTE: This is a linear park/woodland and there are residential areas adjoining it, I do not recommend nighttime hunting with a flashlight as it may cause alarm.
