The Third
Annual
Brighton State Recreation Area
"Spring Fling"
Once again the MI-DNR and Team
CoyChev join forces to attract geocachers for this great
event.
Our purpose
is to draw people out of their homes after a long winter and bring
them to the park for some camaraderie and activities, and where
they can enjoy the outdoors and celebrate spring.
Also cachers have
the opportunity to help others, by promoting the family friendly
sport of geocaching to other people after the geocaching 101 class,
they can team up with a newbie and hunt for a cache or two down the
beautiful trails at Brighton State Recreation
area.
