Event kick off for the Pend Oreille County Geocache Challenge. At this event learn what the county has to offer. New cachers can learn what caching is about in a Geocache Class. Get your passports for the challenge via the link on the event page (soon to be posted) or get them at the event. There will be 50 Geocache Coins made for the event available for each correctly completed passport; one coin per household. In the case you complete the passport and the coins are all handed out, be sure to keep the passport safe. There may be more coins ordered at a later time. There will be 25 geocaches to find for this challenge. Expect this challenge to take 2 days to complete the passport. There will be some caches that will have a hike to them and others that are drive up caches. Lots of miles will be logged getting to the caches. Again, this will most likely not be able to be done in one day.
