Fairy Stone State Park
967 Fairystone Lake Drive
Stuart, Virginia 24171
It has a beach, boat rentals, and their own geocaching program (ask for brochure in office) where you can even sign out GPSs from the office. The kids should have fun hunting for fairy stones. These stone crosses are composed of iron aluminum silicate. To find the actual hunting site leave the park(Route 346), turn left on Route 57. Drive appr. 3 miles to the first service station on the left (Haynes 57). The land to the left of the station is park property and fairy stones can be hunted in that area. A small number may be hunted and taken for personal use; however, commercial digging is not permitted.
For my Girl Scout Gold Award Project I am setting out a series of geocaches in Virginia State Parks. During my project, my goal is to allow families to have bonding time rather than just being in front of a computer or television screen. I believe this project will teach people more about Virginia which can be quite beneficial to everyone, especially children. I believe it would be exciting for participants to have some kind of motivation to go searching across the whole state of Virginia knowing that they have the possibility of winning a nice first to find prize which I am currently working on. The caches are in Fairy Stone SP, Andy Guest SP(Shenandoah SP),Douthat, First Landing, and Lake Anna for a total of five caches spread across Virginia. As part of my project, I'm also making an educational DVD and holding a CITO event on Saturday, September 19th at 9am in Andy Guest State Park, near Shelter 1 /canoe drop. While looking for the caches, there is a code word on the inside of each of the caches. Be sure to write down the code words in order from all five caches in case there is a First-to-Find prize for the first person who FINDS ALL FIVE CACHES and EMAILS THE CODE WORDS. The first-to-find isn't guaranteed yet. I'm still working on this. Have fun! :)
