Geocache Description:


This is one of my family-friendly MoCo Expo Trail caches, found in beautiful Berkeley Springs, WV. Sadly, because this cache has been muggled 3 different times, I've had to adjust the size down to a Micro. It's not a tiny micro, but it might be a bit of a challenge to find. Berkeley Springs 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!)or because their original containers have been muggled (repeatedly in some cases.) The idea is to make it easy for brand new geocachers to find at least most of them.)

Now, for the cache:

The name of this cache is to honor the folks that were kind enough to host our efforts. You’ll understand when you get close to your destination - which was built after the great fire that destroyed many of the 18th century buildings nearby in 1844. The neighbors across the street are pretty quiet, and pose no threat of discovering what you’re up to.    The cache you seek is a now a camaflouged Rhino tube (a bit smaller than a film canister.} It's only big enough for the log. The cache is hidden in a place that will be easy to reach even with little ones.  The hosts have asked that you be considerate of their Sunday morning activities.  There’s  not too much muggle activity to be concerned about most of the time.  Be careful though; depending on when you arrive, there could be a good bit of muggle traffic.  Be vigilant, and the prize will soon be in your hands.  Please make sure to put the cache back EXACTLY where you found it.
