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 68 equivalent to the "Loop to Loop" and I-81 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.

This will be Number Five of our I 68 Maryland JOE series.

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.
Copied from VWDave's caches in VA and scrubjsm in WV

Locating this cache will take you North on MD 546 ( Finzel Road ) (visit link) just off the Exit @ 29.

Just up from this location you will find the small town of Finzel (visit link) and located just around the bend from this cache you can find Local Country Radio Station WFRB FM 105.3 studio’s. (visit link)

This cache is best accessed as you head West on the Interstate but can be easily grabbed from either direction.

Wide shoulders and low traffic will make this a quick cache and dash.

As always when caching with kids, be aware of their location at all times or have them wait in the cache retrieval vehicle parked safely off the road.

A micro is what you seek in the usual JOE manner. No room for a writing Instrument so BYOP

*** Congrats to KG8GN and Acarina for the Shared FTF !! ***
