National Museum Natural History geotour to be discontinued

Post by Moonpie10 »

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History GeoTour will be discontinued at a date to be determined in the first quarter of 2018. The NMNH GeoTour was launched April 2, 2013; and we’ve appreciated the support and positive feedback on the NMNH GeoTour from the Geocaching community. We have enjoyed reading your logs. We hope; and I believe we did, through the cache pages and puzzles, provided a different look into the National Museum of Natural History. We wish it could continue but that will not be possible. We wanted to let you know, at this time, so that if you wish to do the tour it should not be put off. As of 4/20/2017 there remain 125 coins to be awarded for completing the tour.

My personal thanks to those who helped with establishing the tour and thanks to those geocachers who made it a pleasure to maintain and keep it going.
Best,
Dan Chaney

Shame to see this great geotour go. I found 3 of the caches in 2013, 5 more in 2015, and still need CINMAR. Guess I'd better plan a trip up to PA...

Thanks to all involved for setting up and maintaining the caches.

I'd like to do these but they never seem to fit into our schedule.

Could someone provide a link to the tour? I searched the museums website and came up empty.

I was thinking for trying to do this trail this weekend and maybe finish it the following weekend. Does anyone know if they still have coins for it? When you go to there site all they mention is a emblem in digital format for your profile page.

Thanks
