Treat your little monster to a fun day of geocaching! A great opportunity to seek out all of The GeoCats' caches at Fernwood if you have not already done so. GeoCat members will be on hand to guide new cachers in the pursuit of these caches as well.
There will be cache related treats for all who attend in the form of food, drink, door prizes, and a new cache or two. We will also be celebrating GeoCats' Member punk7242's birthday.

Located in Fernwood Botanical Gardens and Nature Preserve along the beautiful St. Joseph River. Since there are Visitor Fees (see below), take time to hike the other numerous trails and gardens.
