Geocache Description:


The Delaware Geocaching Trail will take you on an adventurous journey throughout the great State of Delaware. Our trail will excite you with all of the historical, agricultural, cultural and adventurous treasures hidden in Delaware's three counties. As you proceed on your venture, you will witness the beautiful estates, gardens and sanctuaries that envelope this great state. You will admire the early 1800s architecture of the churches and homes in New Castle County. You will learn about the early Indian tribes that settled along the rivers and bays in Sussex County. While exploring Kent County, you will also be in touch with the defenders of our State and country. The Trail will take you on a voyage through Delaware's beautiful State Parks and a few special surprise locations that you may have never seen! Enjoy your quest!
