Been wanting to do this virtual for years. Had never taken the time before to do it but today was going to be different. Only had trouble at one of the locations everything else went smoothly. Had lots of fun and learned a few things in the process. 2181 over all. -- Many THANKS for the Gr8 VirtualCACHE! Answers are on the way.

Finally found time this afternoon to finish this one off. Been picking up answers here and there on several visits over the past month or two. Definitely discovered several new interesting spots I never realized existed while on this walkabout. Of course, almost every visit I make to Shepherdstown is always enjoyable -- many neat areas, shops, and of course, it's my favorite contra dance location too. TFTC! Answers have been submitted. Find #1470 overall.

We enjoyed our trip around Shepherdstown so thanks for the cache. We definitely know the town much better than we did before. We walked all but the last two and drove those because the walking tour took us a bit longer than we had anticipated and we needed to get back home. Driving the last two got us back in time even though we stayed longer at #11 than we meant to. We ate lunch at the Bavarian Inn and the walk afterwards was a good thing.
