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 Eight of our 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 quick grab for
those
traveling through the area and a nice fast smiley for those
that
already live here.

Now for the cache Search …
You will locate this JOE just off the East
Bound
Exit 24 of I 68 on the South Side of the Interstate.
This JOE placed just off the interstate exit will
require a little bushwacking and light climbing but with all JOE’s
it is easily accessed.
If you have ever traveled I 68 through Garrett
County during the Winter months you know that if the cache is on
the Ground it will be buried under the snow, this cache has been
placed to provide year round access. As long as you are Not afraid
of climbing through the Snow on the shoulder up the hill to the
wood area.
The cache you seek is ( A Cammo’d
Water Jug ) hidden in the wooded area to provide cover for your
search. Please be careful when opening the container so the
contents don't get dumped out on the ground.
This Larger than Regular Cache Provides for Plenty of room for
Travel Bugs and Geocoins to be traded along the Interstate headed
East and West
Some stealth may be required but
minimal at most times
Parking along the wide shoulder should provide you with a safe
place to exit the cache mobile
Cache has been fully stocked with a stash
note,
log book, pen, swag and TB’s to get this one started.
