Haunted tunnel and caves in Wheeling WV

Post by EagleBlazer »

Carla and I did 3 caches in wheeling that were nice caches because of the history,hiking and location. All 3 are less than 400 ft. apart and have a special exception from groundspeak. If your in the area I would highly recommend these caches as well as a few others in town about the history of Wheeling by one of the owners RAGE XN. Getting to the caves and graveyard would be very slippery when wet.

Durm and Strang! They look totally cool. Too bad we didn't get more of a chance to cache while we were out that way.

Oh well, an excuse to go back another time! :-D

Sure. They do sound like fun, but

In case you want to be precise in your timing, here is some other info from http://www.moonphases.info/full_moon_ca ... dates.html:

"The time is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If your local time zone is currently on Daylight Saving time, please add one hour to the standard times listed in the Moon phases tables."

I just realized I'd posted the times from the site and figures since they were there, I'd add the explanatory text.
