Geocache Description:



Welcome everyone to what we hope will be the first

The many trails and multiple access points make
this park the perfect place for this type of event.

We have reserved the large pavilion for the entire day and the park staff is very excited about this event. There are cabins and plenty of tent camping options available at the park. And of course there are plenty of hotels in the area.

Many of you may ask just what is a challenge event. Well the simple explanation is as follows: A certain number of temporary caches will be placed among the many trails of the state park. Each cache will be worth a a certain number of points depending on the terrain and difficulty rating of each. Participants will have a predetermined amount of time to find as many caches as possible. The team or individual with the highest score will be the winner.
