Geocache Description:


JOE EXIT 68 " Just Off Exit"

The JOE cache series was started by altosaxplayer, a member of the Tri-Cities Geocachers. The name JOE means "Just Off Exit". The series was started as an Interstate 68 equivalent to the "Loop to Loop" and I-81 cache series that was started in Nashville TN by cgeek.
The JOE caches are placed no more than two tenths of a mile from the exit and the hint is a dead give away to the cache location. JOE caches are an easy way to pick up more cache finds while traveling.

This will be Number Two of our Maryland JOE series.

Not much to say about this cache, it's a quick grab right off the highway, and easy to get right back on afterwards..

When planning our trips we always struggle with which caches really will be quick grabs and which may end as disasters and getting lost in an unfamiliar city.

This cache is meant as a super quick grab for those traveling through the area and a nice fast smiley for those that already live here.Copied from VWDave's caches in VA and scrubjsm

This cache is best gotten from the West Bound side but Easily accessible from either direction.

Along the North side of I-68 just .4 miles from this exit you’ll find the Belle Grove Exxon. A place for Gas, Diesel, Groceries, a small Diner and friendly atmosphere.

If you’re an avid outdoors person 5 miles to the South from this exit, you will find the C&O Canal and the Western Maryland Rail Trail system.

Stealth may be required depending on traffic and Always be mindful of where your children are at all times.

Small Cache, Room for Small geocoins and TB's with smaller hitchhikers, a log, stash note and pen as well.

** Congratulations to KG8GN for a FTF !!! ***
