Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Fairfax County Parkway has been renamed.  It used to be 7100 and it is now 286.  This makes it a primary road in Virginia, and, as we can see, new paving has been done and some new construction.

To celebrate the occasion, I thought I would place a cache.  I  found a great spot while I was out caching the other day.  As I sometimes do, I wrote notes to myself for different locations throughout the day.  When I got home, I emptied my pocket and found four notes.  They are:

Note 1     +0.673     +0.106
Note 2     -0.310      -0.277
Note 3     +0.742     -0.707
Note 4     -0.685     +2.444

Now, I can't remember which I used since I visited many sites during the day.  I may have used them all or just a subset of them.  I guess you will have to figure out which.


Congratulations to vpdj for the FTF and the Rookie of the Year Award.
