Never been out Geocaching? thats ok too, we have several Geocachers who will take you out into the park to hunt your first cache!
The MnGCA (Minnesota Geocaching Association) will be providing Hotdogs for lunch, we encourage people to potluck side dishes, drinks, ketchup/mustard, or anything else you can think of. The Discovery Center that they have a small kitchen area and lots of plug-ins for croc-pots, or what ever needs plugging in to keep warm.
