Geocache Description:

The MoCo Expo Geotrail is a way to help introduce people to geocaching in Morgan County, WV in a fun and family-friendly way. All of the caches in this small trail are kid-friendly!

This is a small 12-cache trail - thought currently 1 (Things are Looking Up) has been disabled due to vandalism. It will be replaced soon with a better, more secure cache. This is our very first effort, so be kind in your reviews.

The county seat is Berkeley Springs, which boasts a warm spring that maintains a year-round temperature of 74 degrees. The "run," as residents call it, is a great place to bring your family for a refreshing (free!) soak, or to just dangle your feet and relax. While you're there, you can get a selfie in front of "George Washington's Bathtub!"

Most of the caches in this trail are 1/1's to 2/2's. A few have been adjusted upwards due to Terrain (but still easy to find!) The idea is to make it easy for brand new geocachers to find at least most of them.) There are 12 caches titled "MoCoExpo Trail."

Now, for the cache:

When the nautical flags for Bravo and Zulu are used together, or when that designator is spoken through radio transmission, it is a signal for "Well Done." Having spent my formative years in the United States Navy, and in recognition that this cache is located at a place that honors and serves veterans (and at which I am a member,) I thought this would be a good time to acknowledge their service to our country. So let me take a moment to say to my fellow veterans, "Bravo Zulu...Well done!"

The cache you seek is in a fairly typical location for a place such as this. It is a small lock-n-lock, big enough for small swag, and small-ish TB's. It is hidden in a place that will be easy to reach, even with little ones in tow (please encourage young ones to be respectful of their surroundings.) Depending on when you arrive at this location, there could be a good bit of muggle traffic - you never know who could be walking by or peeking out a window! It is recommended that you not attempt this cache on Wednesdays after about 5:00, or if there is a big event going on, because you WILL be seen. Be vigilant, be stealthy, and the prize will soon be in your hands. Please make sure to put the cache back EXACTLY where you found it.
