ExploreWV GeoChallenge is West Virginia’s official Geocaching enthusiast group brought to you by the WV Department of Education and the Arts, the WV Division of Tourism, and the WV Division of Culture and History. Through ExploreWV, various Geocaching trails and challenges will be organized, providing an excellent and adventurous way to see our beautiful Mountain State.

ExploreWV’s second challenge is the Main Street Challenge, which takes geocachers to all 12 of West Virginia’s registered Main Streets. Geocachers will be able to experience small town charm while traveling the length of the Mountain State. Unlike previous ExploreWV challenges, Main Street WV (MSWV) does not require a Playcard. Instead, there are “Surprise to Find” gifts located in each of the 12 geocaches that contain gift certificates and coupons to local businesses. There will also be plenty of limited-edition Main Street collectables dropped in each cache for unsuspecting geocachers to find. More information on these collectables may be found on our websites which are listed below.

For those of you who seek more than the coveted collectable item and “Surprise to Find” gifts, we have created a Main Street challenge in which you have to find and document code words in all 12 Main Street geocaches using an official Playcard. The first 100 people to correctly complete their Playcard will receive an ExploreWV Geo-Pack containing an ExploreWV clip-on zipper pouch (perfect for geocaching essentials), an ExploreWV keychain pen, and an ExploreWV notebook to keep track of all your geocaching adventures.

To receive all the benefits of geocaching in West Virginia and to register for your official Main Street Playcard, visit us online at GeocacheWV. You may also add us on Facebook.

Please note: If you have previously registered for the WV Geocoin Challenge, you must still register separately for the Main Street challenge and Playcard.

Located along the Ohio River, Point Pleasant is a place that has it all – a bustling metropolitan main street, a state park nestled along its riverbanks, and it is also the site of various historic events that are both educational and entertaining. On the entertaining side, Point Pleasant is recognized as the site of the infamous Mothman sightings and the town plays into this side of their identity by bringing curiosity seekers to visit with their statue and museum that depict the true and bizarre stories surrounding the sightings. For more traditional experiences, Point Pleasant is also the site of Lord Dunmore’s War and the Battle of Point Pleasant and is home to the interactive River Museum and the breathtaking views from the Tu-Endie-Wei State Park. The town has also accomplished many projects in recent years, including an expansive 800-seat amphitheatre along the Ohio River and even a 900-foot boat dock and small marina. Future plans include a guided historical tram tour of the entire town, a vibrant shopping center with a historical theme, and the continuation of revitalizing store fronts and attracting businesses. Main Street Point Pleasant is the oldest affiliate of Main Street West Virginia and continues to be dedicated to renovating and preserving downtown Point Pleasant.

This is a three stage multi. The coordinates will take you to one of the beautifully painted murals. On this painting there is a 4 digit year on the map, DO NOT USE THE YEAR THE MURAL WAS PAINTED. Take the last number of the year and this will be A. Now proceede to N. 38* 50.621 W 82* 08.365 Count the number of people sitting down and this will be B. The cache is located at:

38° 50.51A
82° 08.41B

You will be seeking a small container. Under the lid, there will be a DID YOU KNOW? blurb that includes interesting facts about each Main Street community. If you choose to participate in the Playcard portion of this series, there will be a highlighted word in each blurb that will be used in the Playcard. Please use etiquette and be courteous when Geocaching and place the container exactly where you found it. If there are any problems with the cache including maintenance alerts, please inform ExploreWV as soon as possible.

Special thanks to the Main Street West Virginia organizations as well as the West Virginia Insurance Commission for their assistance in this challenge. We’d also like to give a special thanks to The Watt's for placing and maintaining this geocache.
