#15494 - 1:29:00 PM; Day 14 of the great USA and Canada Road Trip with Sol de lune, and the first leg which has taken us from Minneapolis through to Washington DC, is nearly done with our arrival in DC last night. After visiting Arlington National Cemetery we move on to the National Mall, where I collected this virtual. Gathered the required information, which was sent to the CO to get the OK. Another impressive memorial on the Mall.Greetings from Australia and TFTC mtn-man

Found the required information and sent to the CO. TFTC.

Found while walking around DC for the day - we covered 10 miles but grabbed a lot of caches. TFTC.

We were off to the USA and Canada for a few weeks of holiday, and thoroughly enjoyed traveling around, and visiting the many different places and caches we came across



We continued our cycle off to this one next, and after a quick walk down, we spotted what we needed We spent a little while here just reading through some of the notes left behind, and taking our time to really soak up this memorial



TFTC mtn-man, a fav point from us!

A very solemn place for someone my age ... although Australia played only a support role compared to the US, I lost friends because of Vietnam, both during the war and in the years after. Thanks for bringing me here.

Thank you for bringing me here. I lost a few great friends in this war and this was a great way to honor their memory.

Found it at 1410 hrs on a beautiful day to explore the Mall.

A truly moving place, the boisterous school groups were subdued for a change....

Thanks for the fun!

Visited this one today on a sightseeing trip through the Mall. The weather had finally cleared up so I could do lots of nice virtuals like this one. Very impressive location!
TFTC, Narga

One of my favorite memorials. TFTC!

Found this evening with grandson Creedin. It was lovely at night. Thanks for bringing us here after dark!!!

Un arrêt de 3 jours lors de notre voyage sur la côte Est des USA. On en profite pour faire quelques caches.

Cette cache est notre 3067 depuis notre début en fevrier 2013. Merci a mtn-man d'avoir placé cette cache pour notre plaisir et ainsi de nous faire sortir pour jouer dehors.

Stop 3 days during our trip to the east coast of the USA. We took the opportunity to do some caches.

Yes. Yes. Yes. In the year 1999 we undertook a trip around the world and came also to this interesting place. Because it at that time still no Geocaching gave we find only fair to undertake now this trip virtually once again and to make up for logging the places which we at that time already visit have.

***
Yes. Yes. Yes. Im Jahr 1999 unternahmen wir eine Reise um die Welt und kamen auch an diesen interessanten Ort. Da es damals noch kein Geocaching gab finden wir es nur gerecht, jetzt diese Reise virtuell noch einmal zu unternehmen und das Loggen der Plätze nachzuholen, die wir damals schon besucht haben.

Encontrado! Con geyerwally y amigos. Muchas gracias por cache y saludos!

Cuatro estaciones del año son ideales a cachen. La primavera con sus primeros rayos de sol nos calienta y facilita las buscas y el encontrar. Y luego viene el verano. Maravillosamente. Los días largos y vienen no sólo por los porcentajes y las buscas y el encontrar y medir con corredera al sudar. En el otoño En el otoño esto se pone ya de vez en cuando un poco más fresco alguna tarde. Pero la cabeza fresca ayuda en el pensamiento lógico, buscan y encuentran. Y en el invierno los días son más cortos. Así sólo pocas horas se quedan a menudo para el hobby hermoso Geocaching.

Visiting a friend Will send number of bricks Ty

Found the beautiful cache location while on Sr. Trip with students from Afton CSD, Afton NY. TFTF Thoroughly enjoying our time in Wasington.

We walked the area all day today and enjoyed every bit of it.. We have seen things we have never visited plus ones we have seen several times before. It never gets boring. Love this place.

Thanks

Hello from Western Australia.

Thanks for the cache [^]
[:o)]
This is my find number 2946

Glad we were able to view this memorial. We found my great uncle's name.

Visited DC on a hot and sunny afternoon and tried to clean up the city, by converting all the ghosts to smilies. Had a long walk around the mall and after 5h and several miles walk, I had visited 22 ghosts. All great places . TFTC

Thanks, answers on the way.

Thanks for bringing us to a special memorial. We will send the answers in soon thank you

Finding a few virtuals while on a school field trip to DC. I hope we can come back to this one at night. It's really sobering to see all those names on that wall and realize how many thousands of more were affected when you count family members and friends of lost loved ones. Email sent and a picture posted. Thanks for bringing us to this spot so that we will remember them!

This was a very well done memorial for all those lives lost. Very sad to think that so many names were listed there. People were leaving flowers and stopping by the names of their family members. It was very sad and emotional. Thanks for bringing us to this memorial. Email has been sent to the owner.

message sent to CO..remember when there was a lot of complaining going on when people first saw the design?? thanks for this one..

This is my first time here and I was not prepared for the emotional experience. Such an amazing and powerful memorial.

A great memorial. Hard to believe there are 85,000 names on the wall. Thanks mtn-man.

Today was day Fifty of our caching adventures through Canada and the United States. After leaving Pennsylvania yesterday, we made our way to Maryland. We enjoyed the day touring the museums and the breathtakingly beautiful buildings in Washington, D.C. What a wonderful memorial; so much suffering! We made our way to this one only by accident but certainly glad we did so. The answers required were sent by email to the CO and a photo was uploaded to our log. TFTVC!

A somber visit on a beautiful crisp Fall morning. Thanks for bringing me here.

In town for the Marine Corps Marathon...while the daughters ran we visited these spectacular monuments. Thank You!

Additionally, this one was Number 8,000 for us!

A wall for thought and contemplation. TFTC
(e-mail sent owner With answers)

I have seen the travelling wall twice and this one had literally hundreds of people crowded around it! Great virtual! Email on the way.

During my long walk around the Tidal Basin and along the Mall, of course I visited this memorial, too.

TFTC and greetings from Germany,

Found during our USA Holiday with fitzy_1965.

Enjoyed our day wandering around Washington DC. fitzy gathered the info for this one and sent it off to the CO. A moving experience visiting the Wall.

Thanks !

Greetings from Australia !

Finally catching up with my Logs !

Thanks

Done at night - very sobering - the madness of war - emailed the answers
TFTC

This was the third time I visited the wall. I'm glad the government "reopened" just prior to my visit.

7343 + 874 = 8217. Found with ACBC 66 during our USA Holiday Adventure !

Our first full day here in Washington DC. After visiting the Phillips Collection and Arlington we started walking towards and along the Mall area. This memorial is one of the more amazing ones around here I believe. We spent quite a bit of time walking and reading. Info gathered and sent to CO.

Thanks mtn-man !! A Favourite Point from Me !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers from Australia !!

Very nice I love this spot in D.C! TFTC

We brought our grandson to DC for his fall break. Fun to re-visit all these sights with him because he has been so excited about this trip. We did pencil etchings of his great uncle and my cousin. Thanks for a great virtual!

First day after the shutdown. Perfect time to visit DC. Everything is open but nobody is there.

We walked trough the park and also stopped at this place.

Thanks for keeping this up and running.
Answers are send...

This Memorial never fails to move me. TFTC. Email will be sent shortly.

Moving spot. Thank you for the cache

It's a good memorial to our fallen soldiers.

I guess a lot people say this, but I have been looking forward to visiting this one since I first looked at caches in Washington.....and being from Australia, I didn't know when I would actually get to visit. Well, I have made it, and the visit was as I expected....very moving.

As an ex-serviceman, it was an experience to walk along the wall and read the names that I did. Just so many of them.......

Thanks for the highlighting the area, and another reason to visit. E-mail has been sent with my answers to the questions.....thanks mtn-man. A fav point for sure.....

Quikly answered the questions at our first stop of our Washington-Tour.

TFTC from Germany!

Found while in the States on business all the way from the UK! TFTC and helping me explore Washington DC!

Found it! In DC with D-MAT MA 2 for the March on Washington.
Will send the answers when I get back home this weekend.

Thanks for the virtual.
Yay! Team Hilltop! ♥

Visiting the memorials. Saw this one in the day but Korean at night. More impressive at night. Will email answers. TFTC.

Knew several parents of friends who fought in this war. Some of them never came home. Thanks for maintaining this cache.

This place is extremely beautiful at night and made me pause and take time to Remember Them

Heading to the East Coast and then north in our RV, grabbing assorted caches along the way. A special thanks to all the cache owners that make this hobby possible. Thanks for the fun, caches and hides. All logs marked with a circled "GB". Today was a special day we rode the Metro into DC and walked way to many miles in the processing of grabbing 20 Virtuals and 7 Earthcaches. If any answers are required they are or will be messaged to the appropriate CO.

How impressive, thanks for the discovery.

Day 20 of 31; have emailed CO with answers and am logging find. This is a very sobering memorial. A place to visit that will stay with me forever. Thanks for bringing me here.

Found with Krinkles

Found this one while taking a night tour of DC. Went here after WWII Memorial and than on to Lincolns Memorial. It's really cool at night but a bit hard to find if you are not paying attention.... We walked right by the entrance.

Thanks
TSG

A very moving experience listening to some of the stories as we passed by folks reminiscing.

This was one of quite a few virtuals we collected on a rather lonnnggg walk around DC today.

Email will be sent shortly, TFTC.

On holidays from Australia and at present are staying around the Maryland area until we head off north to Niagara Fall and other areas up north. We managed to make a bit of time to visit a few caches today including some around Washington DC as we were heading the baseball game tonight. Great and moving places around the mall. Cache owners have been emailed. TFTC

I am logging while awaiting confirmation as we head to New York in the morning
Very moving
The sacrifice of so many affects many nations
Thank you from Australia to a simple, yet emotional tribute
Lest we forget

A gorgeous warm spring day and doing a few virtuals in the Mall among the crowds of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Lots of muggles therefore, so gled it was a virtual. Sorry to have missed on the night time experience, but moving none the less. Thanks mtn-man, email sent.

This was cache number 12 on the day for Mrs SeeKPeeKRs and I. We were on a "Virtual Tour" of DC. We ended up picking up 25 caches today as well as walking just under twelve, yes 12, miles. We enjoyed taking the time to wonder the area and really reflect on what freedom costs. Thanks for keeping this one going. (email sent)

Found by Mary & David from Melbourne, Australia, at 1215. We were in town to begin a 'Historic East' tour this evening and spent the day walking around the western end of The Mall. This was our seventh stop along the way. We were impressed with the design of the wall, its size, and the numbers involved. We enjoyed seeing the other two parts of the Memorial too - the Three Servicemen Statue and the Vietnam Women's Memorial. We were also reminded of the Australian National Viet Nam Memorial in Canberra. Answers sent. Our thanks to mtn-man from Georgia.

Even though we're not Americans, we found this a moving spot. Thanks for taking us to this spot.

The Antipodes

A very sombre spot. A made an effort to come back later at night, and it was very different with the serenity. I also more greatly appreciated the symmetry involved in the monument. Cheers Gav [88]
