Spring Geocaching Quest: Mounds State Park!
"Adena and Hopewell!"
This geocache was created by the Indiana Department of Natural
Resources, Division of State Parks and Reservoirs to promote
geocaching in the Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs in the spring
of 2008. It is part of a larger contest. Each cache in this series
(search "spring geocaching quest") has a special stamp that
corresponds to a spot on the official gamepiece available for
download on the bottom. There are a total of 24 different caches
located in 24 different state parks, recreation areas, or
reservoirs. Though not needed to log the cache, participants may
find enough caches to complete 5 in a row or mark all the perimeter
stamps to make a square to win the grand prize!
Completed gamepieces need to be postmarked by July 7, 2008 and
mailed to:
