The Valley Pronunciation Guide (VPG) cache series highlights
places commonly mispronounced by non-natives.
The JOE cache series was started by altosaxplayer, a member of
the Tri-Cities Geocachers. The name JOE means "Just Off Exit". The
series was started as an Interstate 81 equivalent to the "Loop to
Loop" cache series that was started in Nashville by cgeek. The JOE
caches are placed no more than two tenths of a mile from the exit
and the hint is a dead give away to the cache location. JOE caches
are an easy way to pick up more cache finds while traveling.
Cache is strictly log-only, so BYOP. Please replace VERY
CAREFULLY so as to protect the log and concealment.
Congrats to TeamSnook, FTF!

Gems of Rockbridge Geocaching Trail
The Gems of Rockbridge Geocaching
Trail has been developed as part of an Appalachian Regional
Commission (ARC) grant to enhance the gateway communities along the
469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway. The grant funds projects that promote
sustainable tourism and enhance the local community while
protecting the area's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
The Geocaching Trail consists of 10 strategically placed caches
highlighting the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Rockbridge
County. The first 200 geocachers who complete the trail will
receive a commemorative coin featuring the Gems of Rockbridge
Geocaching Trail on one side and the 75th Anniversary of the Blue
Ridge Parkway on the other side.
How it works: each of the ten caches along the trail contains a
question that can be answered from information available near the
cache location. Log all 10 caches and answer each of the 10
questions to complete the trail. The first 200 to complete the
trail will receive a limited-edition commemorative coin!
