  1. Yep! Sometimes I walk right to the cache site and go for it. If you look 'official' and confident, no one will even give you a second look. :o

    I've gone as far as putting on a white hard hat and an orange vest. People don't think twice when you are looking under signs, near light poles, etc.

  2. Hi Morgan's Marauders,

     

    Just hit the Mall, there's a ton of virtual caches from one end to the other. Metro with dump you right there, and you can spend a day caching. I did it last summer and ended up with an incredible tour of DC. You'll hit almost every major and many minor monuments on your walk. Have fun!

  3. I've done a few benchmarks in VA, and have not seen this style of reference to a witness mark. I would guess it means from the pole, you will find the mark 29 feet away at a bearing of 15° N of E. In other words it is 75° on a 360° compass (E is 90° so 15° back towards N would be 90°-15°=75°)

     

    I may be way off, but that would be my guess.

     

    If you haven't done so, you might post in the BenchMark section of the forums. Those folks are very helpful.

     

    Good luck.
