- Found it
Finally, logging my last vacation cache, on all websites, a week later! Best for last? Very possible, this is awesome. I'm afraid I'll need 4 more finds before I can go back and recommend this, but I plan to. I'm heading Sabrefan7 way in a few weeks, I should be able to pick up 5 or so OCNA finds then. So as the story goes, I was staying in Hagerstown, and had to drive 25 miles to Frederick for an OCNA event, and this was on the way. I alloted an hour and a half for this, and just made it! Enjoyed my hike to the monument (I'll guess a couple hundred feet elevation gain), and the monument itself. Boy is it old! Being there an hour or so before sunset, the middle 2 or 3 steps were completely dark, that was a little scary. Noted that the trail from the parking area crosses the AT! On the way down, I hiked about 500 feet North on it, just for the heck of it. It's only the 2nd time I've encountered the AT while caching (the other time was in New Jersey at the Delaware Water Gap), and I did the same exact thing that time too! Thanks for the great virtual, DG.
