ExploreWV is a new group of Geocache enthusiasts in West Virginia brought to you by the WV Department of Education and the Arts, the WV Division of Tourism, and the WV Division of Culture and History. Through ExploreWV, various Geocaching trails and challenges will be organized, providing an excellent and adventurous way to see our beautiful Mountain State. You will be treated to some of the state's best tourist spots, museums, historical sites, Main Streets, and so much more.

The first ExploreWV GeoChallenge is the WV Geocoin challenge. Be one of the first 250 geocachers to complete the inaugural event of ExploreWV and receive a limited-edition West Virginia Geocoin. The WV Geocoin Challenge is a four-part adventure that will take you throughout the Mountain State where you will discover hidden caches at tourist attractions, museums, and historic markers.

Each "cachegory" will contain nine to 10 caches and seekers must find and document at least five caches from each, plus the cache at the West Virginia State Museum. Documentation will be through an official ExploreWV Playbook and you must find clues in each cache and document them in a crossword puzzle to receive the limited-edition Geocoin. There is a limit of one coin per household.

But remember, to receive your official ExploreWV Playbook and to be eligible for the West Virginia Geocoin, you must be a registered member of ExploreWV GeoChallenge. Visit us online at GeocacheWV to register and download the Playbook.

The Monongalia Arts Center (MAC) is located in downtown Morgantown and showcases a wide variety of artwork. The Davis Gallery features contemporary art, while the Benedum Gallery is known to provoke imagination and innovative thinking. In the Benedum Gallery, no type of art is off-limits and the creator is only limited by the room’s physical dimensions. MAC also has a wonderful program for children and gives public and private art lessons. For more information on Monongalia Arts Center and Morgantown, visit GeocacheWV or the Monongalia Arts Center.

You will be seeking a micro container. The code word will be written on top of the log which will be needed for documentation in the Playbook. Please use etiquette and be courteous when Geocaching and place the container exactly where you found it.


A special thanks goes to Running Bear for donating and maintaining this cache!
