GC7B6R8 - Alexandria, DC (Virtual Reward Cache)

Today, while in Alexandria, VA, Tom and I enjoyed several virtual caches. I'll tell you about the others in later posts, but this one was cool, not only because of the historical item that was the focus of the cache, but because of the area surrounding it. Of course, I can't divulge what the item was, but the surrounding area was full of amazing history. While trying to figure out what I was looking for, I came across several historical markers. I don't know what they signified, but they were pretty interesting, nonetheless.

In my continued search for the item, I ended up walking around the block. The cobblestone alley was a treat to walk down. To was mind-boggling to think about the age of those stones.

Then as I came back up and around the block, I came across two plaques, marking the homes of the doctors who tended to George Washington at the time of his death.

Eventually, I encountered a man walking his dog that was able to tell me what to look for, so I was able to claim a find.
