The Wilderness Center Geocaching Club will be hosting its third
annual fall Geocaching event. Come enjoy the fall colors and pick
up a few or a lot of caches while you are at it!
We will be placing caches along 9+ miles of hiking trails at the
Wilderness Center, so there will be lots of caches for you to
find.
There will be caches of every size shape, color imaginable, as well
as varying degrees of difficulties. Trail terrain ratings are
typically between 1.5 and 3 (Some trails may have a higher terrain
rating due to weather). We will have caches hidden in the parking
lot area that that will have terrain ratings from 1 to 2.
There will be a 50/50 drawing, door prizes, and a raffle for a new
Garmin 60Csx GPS.
The drawings will be held between 1:00PM and 1:30PM.
You must be present to claim the door prizes, GPS and the
50/50
You must be 18 or over to claim all prizes.
Proceeds from these drawings will be used to cover the expenses
forthis event.
