Welcome to the Take A Hike geo-art series at Pocahontas State Park. This geo-art series offers a great opportunity to get outside, breathe in some fresh air, enjoy nature, get some exercise, maybe spot some wildlife, and -- of course -- find a bunch of caches. All caches are placed within Pocahontas State Park along dirt and gravel multi-use forest roads/trails accessible by foot...or bike, if you're looking for a faster pace.
While no single cache is very difficult to get to, getting to ALL of them collectively will require some effort....approximately 10 & 1/2 miles of effort. If you attempt the entire series in a single day, please be prepared with plenty of water, a hiker's first aid kit, and spare battery power for your GPSr.
As with most geo-art series, there are a few guidelines:
- Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Answer the question correctly for the correct coordinates.
- RAF - Replace As Found (or as intended)
- Watch for clues along the way for the bonus cache.
- Be careful.
- Have Fun.
Among the requirements for a Boy Scout to attain his hiking merit badge, he must complete one 5-mile hike, three 10-mile hikes, one 15-mile hike, and one 20-mile hike. Each of those hikes must be completed in one day without an overnight camp. The total number of miles the Boy Scout will hike is....?
