AAR: Hanover GeoTrail 2016

Launched in 2016, this GeoTrail started out with 24 caches hidden in and around Hanover, Pennsylvania. Eighteen of those caches had to be found and the codes on those caches recorded on the passport, to qualify for the commemorative coin. Through a quick e-mail where I learned that there were still coins left, and some follow up phone calls from Tom, it was agreed that since the office was closed on weekends, we could send a self-addressed stamped envelope in order to receive our coin. With all that framework put in place, we headed to Hanover.

Overall, the GeoTrail was enjoyable. We were able to find all 18 of the active caches is a day, and the caches brought us to interesting and historic locations as well as places that, if we'd had more time, I would have liked to have stayed and patronized. The caches themselves were varied: some were cleverly hidden, some were typical hides, a couple had hosts that had fallen into disrepair and one was just down right disappointing. Compared to other GeoTrails we've completed, we were disappointed, but we just finished a WVTim GeoTrail - nuff said!

Edit 06/15/19: So we received not one, but two commemorative coins in the mail today! Thanks, Justine, you're the best!
