If anyone knows how I can avoid this and edit the original post I would greatly appreciate the help. Having all of the up to date information in the first post would make this a far better resource in my opinion.

Clarion County North Country Trail - when you complete all 20 caches, you can send for a trackable coin. I hope I linked it right.

 

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I had the Alleghney National Forest one on the list but not the Clarion County one. Lets hope that the other counties on this trail follow suit and add to the huge list of geotrails in Pennsylvania!

Fantastic list! I keep hoping that the PTB here at gc.com will put up a link to a geotrail list that they keep updated, but no such luck yet.

 

Just an FYI for anyone thinking about doing the DCNR Geotrail in Pennsylvania: this trail will be archived, per it's owner, on June 30, 2013. So it will only be in place about thirteen more months. Be forewarned that there are some difficult caches on the trail, and you have to do all 30 caches and get all 30 cards to obtain the coin.

I would be happy if they would just sticky this topic and allow me to edit the first post so I could keep it all up todate and easier to find.

Does anybody know if the Star-Spangled Banner Geotrail still has coins left of those that find 20 or more caches? I would love to do this trail, but I'm not going to rush if the coins are already gone.

 

And I'm almost positive the coins for the Delaware Geotrail are gone. They only had 6-8 left when I contacted them over 6 months ago.

Not sure if this Qualifies but I think it should.. that is the "Gold Country Geotour" in Central British Columbia. You have to collect 24 Stickers for an actual book on the History of the B.C Gold country, then mail them off to receive a Trackable Gold Bar. Gold Country Geo-Tourism is in the process of releasing their Second Phase of 72 caches. Like the first phase, there will be a corresponding book you can purchase with all the History of the caches in it (you don't need it, you can download a page from their site to put your stickers on and send it off to them to receive your trackable Gold Bar. Check it out at www.goldcountry.bc.ca

Geotrail... I think the word you are looking for is "series." Here are a few similar Geocaching terms that can be easily confused:

 

Geotrail - (n) (1) Damage to natural habitat caused by excessive Geocaching traffic. (2) Trail or path created by Geocachers en route to find a Geocache, used in conjunction with Geosenses to identify best route to a Geocache and minimize future damage to habitat. A preliminary Geotrail is usually established shortly after the F2F.

 

Power Trail - (n) A large collection of Geocaches placed with the intention of finding all caches in one pass along the route. Usually 100 or more caches placed at the minimum distance (0.1 miles) apart, but smaller lines of caches can be consider a power trail it the cache to cache route is obvious. Usually placed with the intention of boosting cache find statistics.

 

Series - (n) Small collection of Geocaches that form a set or theme. Completing a series may, in some situations, qualify the Geocacher to locate a puzzle or pick up a Geocoin.

No actually they are most often called geotrails.

 

List will be updated tomorrow.

Perhaps more importantly many of the cache series in question call themselves GeoTrails. :)

 

Jax Parks Challenge in Jacksonville, FL is having an event today with the caches being published for non-attendees tomorrow. Caches are all in county/city parks (Jacksonville city & Duval county are concurrent) which are divided into 6 districts. First 100 people to find 4 of 6 caches in each of the 6 districts and submit the codeword for each district get a coin.

Seems I can no longer edit my original post so I will simply post an updated copy of the list when ever I make changes. If anyone knows how I can avoid this and edit the original post I would greatly appreciate the help. Having all of the up to date information in the first post would make this a far better resource in my opinion. Also PLEASE, before posting any new geotrail, check to see if I already have them on the list.

 

As requested, new additions to this list will now be marked <--New This tag will remain until the next new post.

Fredriction, NB gives a wooden nickel, path tag and geocoin for completing various numbers of 30 caches that have been placed in and around the city. Very nice series. I think wooden nickel for 10 pathtag for 20 and Geocoin for 30. Given out by the tourist bureau, who will also give you a three day parking pass when visiting the series. We did this about a month ago and had a great time. Details are on the website for the city.

The Oyate Trail Geocache series. Starting just north of Sioux City, the Oyate Trail follows Highways 50 and 18 along the southern border of South Dakota all the way to Edgemont. There are 110 geocaches spaced approximately every 3 miles along the trail. These caches are numbered from east to west, #1 to #110.

The first 50 geocachers to find and log at least 100 of the 110 caches along the trail are eligible for an Official Oyate Trail Geocaching Coin. To apply for your coin, email Charlie at this address: saltcamp@gwtc.net with all 100 + codes that you will find in the upper right corner of the cache log. These codes must be in order, #1 to #110 for example: 1D, 2O, 3N, 4T, etc. Include your name and address so if the codes are correct, Charlie can send you your coin.

 

There are bookmarks with this series, and they can be found by searching for "O.T. #" in the cache name.

Seems I can no longer edit my original post so I will simply post an updated copy of the list when ever I make changes. If anyone knows how I can avoid this and edit the original post I would greatly appreciate the help. Having all of the up to date information in the first post would make this a far better resource in my opinion. Also PLEASE, before posting any "new" geotrail, check to see if I already have them on the list.

 

As requested, new additions to this list will now be marked <--New This tag will remain until the next new post.
