Just a couple of tidbits. The Black Walnut Geotrail got some mention at the 56th annual Black Walnut Festival during the Grand Parade. Just for some background info., during the Grand Parade the attendance at the festival reaches its climax and Spencer becomes arguably the largest city in WV as it swells to nearly 60,000 people. The announcer for the parade, Toby Wagoner, was overheard telling the crowd about geocaching. As I sat along Main Street with my family awaiting the parade I only caught the tail end of what the announcer was talking about when I heard him explaining that it was a "treasure hunt using GPS technology". Very cool Toby!

Also, on a recent episode (10/18/10) of the Podcacher podcast, the Black Walnut Geotrail stop #5 - Historic Spencer made airtime as it won on the great multi-cache contest. Sweet!

I had the good fortune of visiting all the caches on the trail Saturday morning with my brother, the Rabbit of Caerbannog from Charlotte, NC. I noticed that some of the swag was beginning to diminish on most of the caches. No problem! I will be out soon refilling the caches with more great swag donated by area businesses.
