Geocache Description:


NOTE: This cache is placed at the WEST BOUND EXIT RAMP, East Bound Exit 5 will need to follow MD 615 East to get this smiley before returning to I70 EAST

Easy return to both East and West Bound I70 by following the access road in either direction.

The JOE cache series was started by altosaxplayer, a member of the Tri-Cities Geocachers. The name JOE means "Just Off Exit". This series was started as an Interstate 70 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 Three of our Maryland I 70 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. Copied from VWDave's caches in VA and scrubjsm

Now for the cache search . . .

A typical JOE cache with a twist for those who hate creepy crawlies.
Parking along the wide shoulders and an easy walk to the cache.

Stealth will depend on the time and day of your hunt, A busy access road at times, Muggles may come from both directions.

Congratulations to nomaland for the FTF !!!
