Will soon begin archiving this series.
<p>Johnson County Park & Recreation District (JCPRD) is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2015. The District is a leader in its field providing the community with top quality parks and recreational opportunities while being responsible stewards of all our resources. The District’s contributions to the personal lives of Johnson County’s citizens have earned the District local appreciation and national acclaim. Each year the District records more than 7 million park visitors and over 2 million recreation participations in over 4,000 programs. Their slogan is “What do YOU do for fun? If you are reading this, one answer is probably Geocaching. The District is planning many special activities throughout the year. With that in mind, and with the District’s approval we bring you 60 JCPRD caches, one for each of their 60 years. This series highlights some of the District’s specialized departments and programs with 15 different caches listed below. Most of these areas are within the Safety and Outdoor Education and the Recreation Divisions and may not be as widely known as the Parks and Golf Course Division. Each specialty area has a cache with a code in it. Collect all 15 and you will have the coordinates to this series final. These caches are hidden in a variety of locations, usually representing some relationship to the program and not all will be on District land. Enjoy these gems of the county and happy caching, but most of all have FUN!</p>
<p>This cache is for JCPRD’s 50 Plus Program. Since 1971, the 50 Plus Program has been a leader in providing recreation and leisure opportunities for active adults. Their programs include classes, special events, and a travel program from day trips to international travel. There are three primary 50 Plus Centers, including The Matt Ross Community Center where this cache is hiding just for you. This cache has been relocated due to construction but is a continuation of the original for this series. You are now looking for a bison tube cache just hanging around. The center is an extremely busy place so be in your stealth mode.</p>
