Welcome to the 10th Annual Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2013, 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 cache hidden in each of the 13 Metroparks.
For links to all of the caches in the series please Click Here. At each cache obtain the five digit code, found in the cache on the cover. Copy them exactly. They are to be placed in the appropriate locations in the brochure found here. That section of the brochure may be submitted for inclusion in the drawing for one of the 2014 Metroparks Annual Passes.
Those that log their finds of all 13 Geocaches will be E-mailed instructions as to how to submit their entry. Each cache’s 5 digit codes will also provide the key to a puzzle. Instructions as to how to obtain the puzzle piece should Click Here.
We will be holding the 10th Annual geocachers picnic at Hudson Mills Metropark on September 7. Watch the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2013 Picnic Page for more details.
The theme for this year's series is Animals.
The animal highlighted in Hudson Mills is the White-tailed Deer.
Some days, a quick drive through Hudson Mills Metropark will reveal our White-tailed Deer herd chewing up the vegetation. Other days, only foot prints and droppings give away their presence. On days they are hard to find, look for the twitch of an ear or an alarmed raising of its white tail. Get too close and you will hear the snorting deer just as it bounds away to safety. Even if you managed to miss seeing deer, rest assured, they saw you.
First stage is a micro container with coordinates inside. Final stage is a regular sized container. Please place the containers back as found and use stealth while you search.
The first stage is located 70 feet from the trail and the final cache stage is located less than 50 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 cache is located within Hudson Mills Metropark, a part of the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority park system. A Metropark Vehicle Entry Permit is required: Annual Permit $25. Senior Permit $15. Daily Permit $5.
