GC1AHG6 Potomac Path Pocket Park (Multi-cache) in Virginia, United States created by Three Boys a Caching

This cache has been archived.

Three Boys a Caching: Visited cache today. Cache was in great shape, but the hidey spot is now unusable for this type of hide. As I don't work up this way anymore, am archiving it.
Hope to see someone put a new cache in this nice little park.

Geocache Description:

Cache is in a little "pocket park" off the old Potomac Path. My regrets; this cache has history and math lessons. The math is easy, and the history is fun and easy. So, have fun!
