Earlier this month, I had the immense joy of joining one of my geo-buddies, Debaere, and completing the Pacolet, SC geocaching trail. Upon completion, you are rewarded with a lovely trackable geocoin to commemorate your adventure. I am a huge fan of coins, and an even bigger fan of free ones, so when Dave suggested the outing, my only response was "What time do we leave"!


This trail is a series of caches set up through out the quaint and quiet town of Pacolet and the entire series can be completed in around 4 hours or so. It is very well set up and the caches range from the typical to the entertaining! If you have never completed a Whereigo cache, the one associated with this trail is a terrific one to start with, and easy to complete. I very much recommend it...in fact, I very much recommend you go down to SC and do the entire trail, you will have a marvelous time!!
In order to receive your reward coin, you must first print your passport (look at the cache page and you can download one there) and complete a drawing at each of the caches (Da Vince level skills not required) and then mail/turn in your completed passport. That's it, it is that easy!!
Here are a few photos of our adventures that day.

The photo cannot do justice to exactly how tiny and cute this church actually was! |
