Come join us for Harvest Days and the fourth Battle Ground Geocoin challenge from noon to 1:00 pm.
We have had a great time hosting cachers from other communities in Battle Ground over the last three years and this has gotten to be a popular event. Last year we had people from many different points of the compass visit to find our flower related caches. Come join other geocachers at Kiwanis Park in Battle Ground to share stories, trade and log trackables, and win prizes.
At this event more details will be provided for those wanting to qualify to receive the 2016 Battle Ground Geocoin. The theme this year is Hometown Celebration and caches are planned to bring geocachers to different scenic, historical, and significant places in and around the area. We will be doing this through a series of multicaches this year.
There are a limited number of trackable Battle Ground Geocoins that will be available to those that complete the challenge, so by attending this event, you will greatly improve your chance to earn the coin. A group photo will be around 12:15 but come early for a chance to visit with cachers from near and far. Come for a fun-filled Harvest Days weekend and enjoy some great caching in and around Battle Ground!
