The annual IGO Hike-n-Seek heads North this year to Cerro Gordo County

And it's all about the music!

Because both the Mason City Visitor Center and the Clear Lake Chamber are event sponsors I have reclused myself from recomending accomodations. Motels are available in Mason City and Clear Lake. The largest campground is Clear Lake State Park, the closest to the event headquarters is McIntosh Woods State Park. Other popular campgrounds include Hidden Lakes (wherever that is) MacNider campground located in Mason City and Linn Grove campground in Rockwell.

I have been working on obtaining at various Hotels a block of rooms. Identify yourself as Iowa Geocachers Group Block

See You In September

Cache at your own Risk

Geocaching, hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities may involve risk to both you and property. There are many variables inclding weather, your personal fitness level, terrain features amoung others that need to be considered before seeking a cache. Be prepared to check weather conditions before heading outdoors. Always exercise common sense.

Remember also one of the rules of geocaching. Cache in Trash Out. We have a responsibility to leave it better than we found it, so if at all possible pick up some trash on your way back to your geo-mobile. Also, always replace the cache the way you found it, so others may enjoy the find.
