West Virginia Treasure Trove Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Mtn State Reviewer: As there has been no response to my fellow reviewer's note, coupled with this cache no longer having a valid permit and has been requested to be archived by the land manager, this listing is regretfully archived.

If the cache owner wishes to reactivate this cache within a reasonable time-frame, it can easily be unarchived if it still meets the current ([URL=http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx]guidelines[/URL]) and a new WVDNR State Park permit is obtained.

Geocache Description:

The West Virginia Treasure Trove is hidden in a beautiful, moutainous region.

Update 10/31/03. Hello! We are the owners of this geocache. We recently re-visited it, and found it to be in good shape. We transferred the contents from the tupperware type container to an ammo box. There has been a great deal of discussion of the coordinates for this cache. We measured again, and entered the coordinates at the top of the page. These are very close to magpie's and andywatson's coordinates. However, we still believe the mountains could interfere with reception, as we lost and regained satellite reception a number of times.

[Original intro begins here] This is our first geocache and we hid it on Easter weekend 2001. We graded it 2.5 for difficulty because of the potential need to re-acquire satellite reception a number of times along the route. Apparently, the mountains interfere to a certain extent. The search should be a test for both man and machine.

There are three routes to the geocache, one taking you through a pretty stand of hemlocks. Whatever route you use, go about 100 feet out past the rhododendron stand, and then go uphill. It's in a fallen log with flat stones from the nearby creek holding it secure. If you're in the area, be sure to visit the Green Bank Radio Astronomy Telescope about 12 miles north. It's gigantic and quite a site. As of 2003, it has a new visitors center with good exhibits.

Enjoy the hike.
