ScienceCacher: In anticipation for our move out of the area I did a loop around the area to visit, collect and archive all of my “regular” geocaches. I will keep the puzzle, Earthcache and Wherigo caches active for the time being. Although we purchased our retirement property well over a year ago, we have been doing some renovations to prepare the house, barn and property for our needs. We have been making the move very gradually but plan to be fully moved in by the end of summer.
I will miss my geocaching pals in the Tri-State area but since I will be living less than three hours away, I plan to return for geocaching events and to visit friends. I haven’t gotten to know geocachers near our new home but I am looking forward to meeting the geocaching community there.
Most of the geocaches that I am archiving are in the Ridge series which was a “gas saver” route along Barker’s Ridge and Union Ridge in Eastern Cabell County. There are a few in Barboursville Park and along US Rt. 60 as well. These caches have been up for adoption since April 2017 and because no one expressed interest, I am going to archive them to allow someone to place another cache in the area.
I hope to see my geocaching pals soon.
