WVAK47 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Help a New Guy Please..... I joined geocaching.com a good while ago, but just went to find my first cache this morning. No luck. Now I can't find the cache listed at all on here. Does anyone know anything about Steps of Daniel Boone (N38 19.833 W081 35.000). If you don't mind I would really appreciate the help Quote Link to comment
+SlickHawaii Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Yup, I was looking for that one on my last trip to WV and couldn't find it. When I returned I discovered that it has been archived. There are a lot of good caches in WV though, and some are even as easy as the Daniel Boon was was supposed to be. Probably a bit far, but check out mine called "Aloha Lockwood". -RichFuel "No amount of success in the office can make up for failure at home. A character is a terrible thing to waste."

+IWILLFIND Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Someone has stolen the cache at Daniel Boone Park. That is why it was archived. That has happened to a few in the area lately. Quote Link to comment
WVAK47 Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hey I appreciate the feed back. Was hoping I didn't suck at this sport that bad. LOL. I tried this one first because it was within walking distance of my home. People really have little to do if they steal from their own sports huh???? Well thank you for the help. Maybe I will run into some of you on the cache chase. Would be way cool. I think I will be after the one at Woodrum's lake next. Maybe 01-01-03, good way to start a new year with a new hobby.

+mikedx Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 From the topic posted I thought I'd add my name in. I've been caching for 7 months and the number of WV caches has grown from 84 to 118 in that time frame. I got my mom and my daughters into the sport. I've lost track of all the state parks and wildlife management areas I've visited since starting. You'd think that this sport would rule in WV due to it's geography/scenery, but it'll catch on. Cache's I'll recommend for starting out: It's a ... Hometown Family Panther's Lair Wine Cellar Good luck and email me if you need any advice about any specific caches. With any luck, you'll run into the 2 living legends of WV caching, Man In The Wild and Elijomikmini... Mikedx Quote Link to comment
+Man In The Wild Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Thanks for recommending Hometown Family Picnic Cache for a starter cache, MikeDX. I wish I could mention our A Cache From The Past since it was similar to Steps of Daniel Boone, but it's gone as well (twice.) I don't think any geocacher took the caches--probably someone else that visited the site to see what to remove, but I wouldn't call them a geocacher... When I first checked the site in April (?) 2001, there were two caches in WV. When I joined, there were 9 thanks to Cache Potatos wonderful caches. It's great to see so many more caches around here now. Maybe if we have a picnic/whatever, we'll come up with some great new ideas for caching in WV. Oh... I missed that last part. I didn't know I was a living legend. Quote Link to comment
+alchemist2000 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I am not from WV, but we really enjoyed caching there last July. Thanks for some FANTASTIC caches! Some of the more memorable are listed on our Top Cache Experiences, accesible from my profile. Hope we can make it back next summer for another round of caching in Almost Heaven.

+Bookworm3 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hi All, I have only been caching since December, but I'm addicted. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I actual dream about caching. I have checked this forum a couple of times and I am glad to see some WV cachers talking. I usually go caching with my two sons and my dog. Quote Link to comment

I think I remember a couple of miles of trails being out there. My sister lives in Parkersburg. I'll be visiting again soon. Maybe we can hike in the area. Quote Link to comment
+jspiker Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hi Folks, Anyone know how to search the property deeds for an area? I need to know the coordinates for a place in Kanawha County. Can anyone do this? or do you need to be a lawyer or real estate agent? Quote Link to comment

I need to know the coordinates for a place in Kanawha County. Can anyone do this? or do you need to be a lawyer or real estate agent? You can go to the county court house and go into the deed room and search for the records for the property in question. As long as it is a public record!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

I've done the 5 in Logan & if you place more, it's not too far a drive for me. See ya on Sunday. Quote Link to comment
