When I first saw cycleangela's Fourth Street Park Guestbook Cache published, I was thinking it was this site. I found this a couple year ago and wanted to list it as a Guestbook Cache, but the book was missing. I tried contacting the museum, but never got back down to check in it. I'm not sure if it was never replaced or just has a habit of disappearing. I'm listing it as a Virtual, for now, but if I learn that the guest book has been replaced, I'll change it to a Guest Book.
Located on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, where Back Creek meets the Severn River, the Sacred Space at the Annapolis Maritime Museum is a lovely spot to sit and watch the sailboats head out for the races. Surrounded by a lovely garden tended by museum volunteers, the Sacred Space lies between the museum’s two major structures: the McNasby Oyster Company Building and the Barge House. The space is part of the Eastport Walking Tour and has evolved into a community gathering place for various events.
Logging Requirement:
1. Visit the site in person.
2. Please post a photo of you / your GPS / other geocaching specific item with the bench.
3. You will need to enter a Log Password to claim this cache. Have a seat on the bench. Locate the informational sign in front and slightly to the right of you - near the start of the pier. (The Atlantic...) The Log Password is the second word of the Latin name of the featured animal.
OPTIONAL -
Sign the Sacred Spaces Guest Book.
This bench and journal was placed as part of the Sacred Spaces program of Nature Sacred which has helped develop such places in the Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis areas.
