Bust out of the cabin fever and join us for the first DNR
Geocaching Event of 2011! The Indiana Dunes and her winter
beauty
will be showcased this weekend, a time few people get out to
enjoy!

temperatures and over 25 inches of snow. Prepare for
anything!
While the event is free, standard gate fees are $5
in-state, $10 out of state visitors. Winter visitors can
enjoy
cross-country skiing, camping, hiking, snowshoeing, birding, a
full

Indiana
residents and $46 out of state residents. Golden Hoosier
Entrance
Permits are also available for $18. Arrival time
starts at 11:30am with registration and social time at the
Nature
Center (posted coordinates). The event's namesake takes place
at
12pm and is followed by a chili dump dinner at 4:30pm. Cachers
are
invited to donate prizes anytime, should they wish to
contribute.
Chili Dump
Bring your favorite chili dish to dump into the kettle. We'll slow
heat it all day over an open fire for dinner later. The last three
year's chili was delicious after a cold day in the field! Coffee
and hot chocolate will be available in the Nature Center all day to
warm you up. Bring any other drinks you may want.
A Lake Effect Event!
Explore the wonder and beauty of the dunes and the many ways Lake
Michigan influences the land here. Placed around the dunes area are
a series of special cache finds where you'll collect poker cards
for this special poker run event. Learn something and there are
extra cards for you!
Mark your calendars now, and plan on some fun!
