This cache is the second in a
series of 5 invasive plant-themed caches placed around parks in
Northern Virginia.
Take a well maintained trail to the
coordinates given. You will come to an interpretive sign. To
retrieve the coordinates for stage 2 answer the following from the
sign:

The Walker Nature Center was opened
in 2009 and was a gift from the Friends of Reston. You will need to
go inside to find the cache. There is no fee to enter the facility.
It is a neat place. Read the hint if you need
to...
Nature House Hours of Operation:
Mon. & Wed. - Fridays 9 am - 5 pm Saturdays 10 am - 1 pm
Sundays 1 pm - 4pm CLOSED to public on Tuesdays. CLOSED to public
on holidays
The entire facility is one of the
first GOLD LEED certified buildings in this area. Take a look
around at the offerings here and educational
opportunities.
To find this cache you will need to
locate a unique container in the Nature Center. Please take care to
return it back to the exact location as you found it. Use stealth
when moving the cache so that mugglers are not aware of your
mission...Staff at the center are in on the nature of the series
and may be delighted to answer any questions you
have.
BRING YOUR OWN
PEN.
TO FIND THE CLUE (to the
series final:
Raiders of the Lost Park GC2JE3B): You will need to learn how
many invasive plants are banned in Reston. Jot that clue down as
you collect clues for the series final
cache.
All containers in this series are unique
and handmade. Take care when handling them and replace exactly as
found to keep it fun for the next
finders.
Special thanks to Katie Shaw for assisting with placement
allowing this cache to be placed in the Nature Center.
Be sure to
grab the clue (found inside the cache) for Raiders of the Lost
Park.
Remember, it's all
about the journey...
FTF honors go to cphug 184! You have
the edge having this one before the
holiday...hehehe
