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 15-cache trail - most are new, but a few have been "repurposed" for this trail (thank you LisaandDarin) 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 group 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.)

Now, for the cache

The name of this cache comes from a nickname for the largest independent city in the United States. It is also the largest city in Maryland. This famous port city was home to the likes of Edgar Allan Poe and jazz great Billie Holiday. AND it is known for the icy sweet treat that can be found very nearby. Those that are from Maryland and surrounding areas will probably "get it" as soon as they get near GZ. The code word for the cache trail will be a play on another well-known moniker for this historic place (and from the sweet workers that a sign nearby warns you to bee careful of.) The location of the cache should give you a hint as to what it is. During the summer, muggle traffic will likely be at a minimum, though the cache is near a favorite shortcut for walkers (and drivers) to get from the busy main street to the back road, so be very vigilant. But when school is in session, it's a completely different story - there will be foot and vehicle traffic for most of the day. This is a kid-friendly cache. There is a little space for young ones to play while you're making the find, but watch out for the occasional vehicle that might come through.
