Check it out Holmes! Traditional Cache

Holmes Run is a tributary to Cameron Run. For a long time, the flood plane around Cameron Run was regarded by most as just another  industrial zone.  Railroads and metro lines track through it.  No one lived there and few things even grew along the waterway.  Cameron Run is clearly visible from the Capital Beltway on your right as you drive clockwise from Route 1 in Alexandria.  A different vision held by the Director of the City of Alexandria Transportation and Environmental Services Division is changing the area.  Trees were planted, jungle gyms for children were added and there are mile markers along the way for runners and cyclists. There is a small stream where you're likely to see turtles, Canadian geese, ducks and other waterfowl. It's covered by thick vegetation throughout and pretty flat lands. This portion of the trail is well shaded and paved with concrete to prevent washouts from floods.
