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.

White Sulphur Springs is located in the heart of the Greenbrier Valley and is home to The Greenbrier, one of the oldest luxury resorts in America. However, the town is home to more history and local attractions than just the famed Greenbrier Resort. White Sulphur Springs’ Main Street organization regularly promotes the town’s other areas of significance, including reliving their history through the 1862 Battle of Dry Creek reenactment each August, and also by giving a new life to the downtown community. Annual events that help make White Sulphur Springs a unique blend of historic charm and small town luxury include the Fresh Water Folk Festival in October, the Dandelion Festival during Memorial Weekend, and the recently established Greenbrier Classic, usually held in July as part of the PGA Tour. For more information on Main Street White Sulphur Springs and surrounding areas, visit GeocacheWV or White Sulphure Springs Mainstreet.

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 tayhanstick for placing and maintaining this geocache.
