Philippi Covered
Bridge
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 Philippi Covered
Bridge is the longest and oldest covered bridge in West Virginia.
It is the gateway to the beautiful and historic small town of
Philippi, where visitors will be treated to a slew of recreation
activities including Civil War sites, lush parks, and nearby West
Virginia State Parks. For more information on the Philippi Covered
Bridge and area information, visit GeocacheWV or City of
Philippi
When accessing this cache, Go to the Blue and Grey Park at the west
end of the Covered Bridge. At the southern most part of the parking
lot is a sign by a bridge indicating Public Stream Access. Cross
bridge, turn left and follow two track to parking.
You will be seeking an ammo can. There will be a label under the
lid with a little fact about the area and the code word 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 PilotJandCrew for placing and maintaining this
cache!
