Welcome to our sixth GeoTrail ( and its NOT a gadget trail : ) )– “Hidden Treasures,” sponsored by the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and coordinated by WVTim. We invite you to visit Berkeley County, WV, for your first time or welcome back again. This year Berkeley County is celebrating its 250th anniversary. Berkeley County was established in 1772 in the state of Virginia. To help in the celebration, we are launching our Hidden Treasures GeoTrail! This trail will allow you to travel throughout the county and visit our hidden treasures while learning more about where we call home. Enjoy the back roads that follow the same paths that Native Americans traveled for hunting; see the areas where locals fought the Tories during the Revolutionary War, or it was brother against brother during the American Civil War. Experience what makes Berkeley County, WV, rich in history and culture.
How to earn the Hidden Treasures Geocoin: Sorry, coins are gone
Location : This new 60-acre farm is home to one of our growing Agritourism businesses here in the Eastern Panhandle. Agritourism is a BIG deal here in Berkeley County. You will be visiting several Agritourism sites while your completing your Hidden Treasures GeoTrail.
Here at this site you’ll be able to experience farm-life first-hand, and see personally the on-site crops being grown (corn and rye) for there own Distillery products. At this site, artisans are seeking to blend their techniques with West Virginia traditions of times past. There first product was something WV is know for, a "West Virginia Moonshine" using all natural ingredients. Now this business uses the World famous waters of Berkeley Springs as the perfect foundation or producing a great tasting bourbon.
Geocache : Glen Price, the owner, came up with the idea for Stage one. It's all his doing. Coords will take to the left barrel on the front porch. There you should find something that will give you a hint to find the Final. Final - hint.... take nothing apart, the front safety item will hold a large magnet cache container.
Many thanks to Glen Price, owner of Black Draft Distillery for allowing us to place this DAYLIGHT ONLY geocache at his Distellery. If your visitng this cache during the week, the distillery will likely be closed but you have permission to find the cache.
