Geocache Description:

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 TN 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.

Number four of our West Virginia JOE series.

If you've found the other three you know by now this is just a JOE. Nothing exciting to see here, think of it this way if you're traveling down 81 through Wild and Wonderful West Viginia, you've just had the opportunity to grab 4 of our JOE's plus a few other caches that aren't technical JOE's but serve the purpose without adding much travel time to your trip. That's a decent amount of smilies and you didn't get lost, you weren't bitten by ticks, you didn't spend a lot of time hunting for tricky caches and there was no need to use the phone a friend network. All caches have their place, this one is for the traveling cachers. We hope it serves that purpose.

We grabbed some JOE caches while visiting the Scrubs Grandparents in VA and thought they were a great idea. When planning our trips we always struggle with which caches really will be quick grabs and which may end as disasters and getting lost in an unfamiliar city. This cache is meant as a super quick grab for those traveling through the area and a nice fast smiley for those that already live here.
