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.
My love for hiking was instilled in me when I was a kid living in Germany, where our family participated regularly in hikes called "Volksmarch". The Volkmarch were typically offered in 3 distances: 5 kilometers (3.1 miles), 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), and 20 kilometers (12 miles). The term "Volkmarch" can be translated as.....
N37 23.837 W077 32.173 -- People's march
N37 23.792 W077 31.933 -- Everyone get off of the couch & go for a hike.
