Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!
But you'll have to qualify for the challenge below...

West Virginia, known as the “Mountain State,” lies in the Appalachian region of the eastern United States and is defined by its rugged terrain, forested hills, and winding rivers. The state was formed in 1863 during the Civil War when it separated from Virginia, giving it a unique place in American history. Its geography has shaped both settlement and culture, fostering small, close-knit communities and a strong connection to the land.

Historically, West Virginia’s economy has been rooted in natural resources such as coal, timber, and natural gas, industries that deeply influenced its workforce and traditions. In recent decades, tourism and outdoor recreation have grown in importance, with visitors drawn to hiking trails, whitewater rafting, and expansive state parks. Rich Appalachian music, storytelling, and local pride continue to define West Virginia as a place of resilience, heritage, and natural beauty.

For this challenge, you'll need to explore the Mountain State in search of Geocaches!
