Welcome to the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2015, a geocaching game placed by MiGO members in partnership with the Huron-Clinton Metroparks. In order to complete the series, you will need to find the special geocache hidden in each of the 13 Metroparks.
For links to all of the geocaches in the series please click here.
At each geocache obtain a word or words for the word search puzzle found here. These words can be found on the laminated card within the geocache. The underlined words on the card can be entered on the word search puzzle form and circled within the word search puzzle.
You will also need to copy a code such as "B = 6". This code will help you record your progress and can be used to unveil the bonus geocache coordinates. The bonus geocache will be launched on September 12, 2015. This is the same day as the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure Picnic at Lake Erie Metropark. Watch the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2015 Picnic page for more details. Copy the code exactly. The code is to be placed in the appropriate locations on the brochure found here. That section of the brochure may be submitted for inclusion in the drawing for one of the 2016 Metroparks annual passes. When you have logged your finds of all 13 geocaches you should enter the codes into the online form found here. You will then be emailed instructions as to how to submit your entry.
The theme for this year's series is Trails in the Metroparks.
Our Metroparks have approximately 250 miles of various types of trails including hiking, biking, mountain biking, nature, ski, horse, and canoe. Many are maintained year round and some are seasonal. All, in one way or another, encourage us to get out and enjoy the outdoors! Each MGA15 geocache will contain a card discussing trails in that park.
The geocache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged to reduce impact on the environment. Please park at the coordinates shown in the waypoint table and start your walk at the trailhead coordinates.
This geocache is located within Kensington Metropark, a part of the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority park system. A Metropark vehicle entry permit is required: Annual permit $30. Senior (62+) permit $20. Daily permit $7.
For general information please call 810-227-8910 or visit our website at www.metroparks.com.
All park rules and regulations apply. Park in parking lots only.
Dogs are allowed in this section of the park.
VERY IMPORTANT: THE HOURS FOR KENSINGTON METROPARK ARE FROM 6:00 AM TO 10:00 PM. |
