This is a RAIN or SHINE event!
Hager park has 6 total caches currently! Many of the current caches are being redone for the event. There are also more new permanent caches planned. There are 6 caches within a mile, 30 caches within 5 miles, and 69 caches within 10 miles! I will be posting local lodging information soon (both camping and hotel).
Kids will for sure have a blast at the top notch world class playground!
