★★★ Welcome to the West Virginia State Star ★★★
Welcome to the Mountain State, a geocacher's playground for all adventures big and small. The West Virginia State Star is a 51 piece geo-art series located along the rolling banks of the Monongahela River near Morgantown West Virginia. This isn't your typical geo-art, however. Spanning over 11-miles, these caches will have you climbing your way to a variety of unique D/T combinations. So whether you are trying to fill your fizzy grid, working on a challenge, or just simply looking for some exercise, the West Virginia State Star has something for everyone!
For more information on the series, parking locations, and a list of possible puzzle solutions, see West Virginia State Star #01.
There are two ways to solve for the final coordinates. First, you can ...
Solve the puzzle below to derive the code word which will satisfy the wherigo and grant you coordinates to the final location of this geocache.
CODE WORD: SHHEVT
Alternatively, BUT NOT REQUIRED, you can ...
This is a play-anywhere cartridge that requires you to retrieve code words from other geocaches in the West Virginia State Star series to locate bonus wherigo caches. Simply put in any of the ten code words to get the corresponding coordinates for the bonus cache. (I. e. Caches #1 - #4 all contain the same code word that will grant you access to cache #5.) Once all ten code words have been entered, the coordinates for the series bonus will be unlocked.
NOTE: Make sure to save and resume your game after entering each codeword so the cartridge can accurately award you for finding all ten code words. (As opposed to starting a new game each time.) Also, only enter each codeword ONCE. Entering the same codeword multiple times will interfere with the coding.
