Geocache Description:

Geofest at Bernheim Forest

Bernheim's staff has invited our Geocaching community to participate in this years Colorfest. With all that Pokemon craze going around they would like for us to show Colorfest participants a better way to use their cell phones. Colorfest not only provides cachers a great opportunity for meet and greets, there's also plenty to do for the whole family at Bernheim's fall festival. In addition there are over 135 caches located in the forest just waiting to be found. Colorfest has moved to a new location, with nice shade trees, between the Visitors Center and the Research Center. We will have a booth in the Council Ring next to the flag pole that will serve as a cacher meet and greet as well as providing a Geocaching 101 opportunity with demonsrtation caches for those attending the festival.
When: This years event will take place Saturday October 15th and Sunday October 16th from 10 AM to 5 PM. There will be a $5 entry fee per car to Bernheim Forest this weekend Where: The Geocacher Meet and Greet and Geocaching demonstrations will be located at posted event coordinates near the Visitors Center. Travel Bugs and Geocoins: Please bring along any Travel Bugs or Geocoins you might have when you come to Colorfest. We would like to display the TB's and coins for event attendees to view. It would also be a great opportunity to discover some TB's. If you brought a TB, starting at 3:00 PM each day drop back by the booth and pick up a different one to move it along its way. Caches: There will be 18 new regular caches located in Bernheim for Geofest in addition to all the existing caches in the forest and surrounding area.

If you would like to help out at this years caching event please contact Mooseky. It's a rewarding experience demonstrating geocaching to interested festival attendees and the expression on a kid's face when they find a cache for the first time is priceless. Bernheim certainly appreciates all volunteers that help make Colorfest a successful event. Please note this is an event for the whole family. Many Colorfest activities are designed for kid participation. Plan on arriving earlier in the day if possible as Bernheim Forest entrance traffic backs up in the afternoon. This event cache has been approved by Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest.
