The newest geocoin in our collection from completing the the Pacolet Geotrail last weekend. Notice the hand written note from the Mayor herself.
We've done 8 Geotrails in our almost 2 years of Geocaching, four in Washington State, three in South Carolina, and one in North Carolina. Some of them take a couple hours, others have spanned a year to complete. Geotrails are usually themed to highlight some aspect of a city, like parks or history.
One of the Geotrails that took almost a year to complete was called the 101 Dalmatians Series. All the containers or locations were named and themed different dalmatians. Lucky for us the guidelines of that one allowed us to find only 50 as many of the caches had been archived. In geocaching terms, that means a cache is no longer in play due to damage, theft, or comprised locale. It was truly a feat considering the driving, hiking, and finding and not finding.
We look forward to spending many more days on Geotrails exploring new places.

And thanks again to all of you putting in the mileage and doing unspeakable things while caching with us.
