What: An
introductory event on basic geocaching skills
Who: People of all ages and abilities who want to learn about
geocaching
Where: In Roche-A-Cri State Park (on Highway 13 just north of
Friendship and just south of Highway 21) at the shelter west of the
mound. Watch for signs.
When: Saturday, July 17, 2010, at 2:00 p.m. for about an
hour
This is an opportunity to Get Outdoors with the whole family to
learn a new skill or to improve on one you may be just starting to
learn. People who are camping in the park or who are from the area
(or not) are welcome to come see what geocaching is all about.
Bring along a GPS receiver if you have one. If you already have a
geocaching account and were thinking about finding any or all of
the 14 geocaches in Roche-A-Cri State Park, this would be a great
time to visit. Stop by before or after those searches to pick up
some pointers, to share your skills with others, or to just say
"hi".
NOTE: The stairway to the top of the mound is closed until an
extensive repair/redo can be completed in 2011.
Because this
event is held in a state park, a parks admission fee is required
(hourly, daily, or yearly sticker). There is no cost for the
event.
This event is put on in conjunction with park personnel and nature
programs, including the "Get Outdoors" program, which aims to get
young people and families into the outdoors.
