About this series:
Ah, France in the summertime! What could be better? If you can only go as far as Clarence Fahenstock State Park, this series of geocaches will bring a bit of France to you. You can learn some new French vocabulary from the geocache names. The original swag includes items inspired by France.
The series has ten geocaches with stamps for your summer challenge passport, and one bonus geocache (no stamp) based on a simple puzzle. The geocaches are in two different sections of the park, with the majority being on an easy loop of approximately 3.4 km and three on a smaller loop of about 1.6 km.
You are looking for a small container.
Bonne chance à tous!
