SIX MORE WEEKS OF WINTER - 2019 Event Cache

YAY!  Our annual event is actually on Groundhog Day this year!  Come out and join us in rejoicing either because the groundhog did or did not see his shadow...depending on your preference for winter weather!  Hike the trails, howl at the moon or just meet up with some of your fellow cachers...newbies and the more experienced!   Have someone interested in trying our sport or someone who just wants to walk around with you?  All are welcome!  This event is a once a year event and we think it is great!  It is the one and only time when hiking the trails and caching is permitted after dark at TWC.  So come on out and join us for snacks and geochatting!

The above coords are for the check-in point which will be in the Trillium Room on the second floor of the Interpretive Building (IB).  Enter the IB through the main front doors, go up the stairs and the Trillium Room is on your right after you go through the double doors.  There is also an elevator for handicap access.
