NoVAGO Geocaching Diet Event #5

Title: NoVAGO Geocaching Diet Event #5 Location: 2 Creek Trail Link out: Click here Description: Our Event: W&OD Two Creek Trail Hike This 19-acre site is located near mile marker 30 of the W&OD Trail between Goose and Sycolin creeks. A one-mile walking and equestrian trail winds around the park’s perimeter, providing views of Goose Creek’s largely untouched forested banks. The trail is shaded by woods for about ¾ of way and there are plenty of opportunities for cooling hot feet in a cool creek. However, STRONG bug repellent highly recommended. There are ticks. Parts of the trail were mowed this week! The area has two picnic tables were we can share HEALTHY snacks. Be sure to bring water and bug repellent.

I certainly don’t know all there is to know about the pastime, but I’ve been involved for a very long time — “guys talk, ya see things, and I get around.” Newcomers to geocaching may find this information, and the associated tips, reminders, and links helpful…while Old Timers might spot something new, or that jogs their memory. Geocaching has grown by leaps and bounds, and one thing is for sure…it is imperative that we all follow the established guidelines so that the pastime we enjoy continues to be recognized as a legitimate recreational activity.
