On Saturday, September 18, the ExploreWV Geocoin Challenge was kicked off at the WV Culture Center at the Capitol Complex grounds. This exciting new challenge is a program created by the WV Department of Education and the Arts, The WV Division of Culture and History and the WV Division of Tourism. Not only are state agencies working together, but National Park Systems have even permitted caches on their lands (New River National River, Harpers Ferry National Historic Park) for this challenge. The Geocoin Challenge is only the tip of the iceberg for this ExploreWV geocaching initiative.

 

WV Public Broadcasting picked up on the story and I was very excited that they included the Black Walnut Geotrail as a component of the story. You can hear my son and I interviewed in this story. Way to go Adam.

 

We are fortunate in Roane County that the Spencer Civil War Park was chosen as one of the 30 ExploreWV Geocoin Challenge sites.
