Welcome to the Huron-Clinton Metroparks 2006 Geocaching Adventure. This year’s adventure has taken on the form of a crossword puzzle. The answers to the puzzle can be found on hidden coins throughout the 13 Metroparks. The coordinates to each parks’ set of coins can be found on the inside cover of the 11 caches that are part of this game. The coins have been hidden in all 13 parks. Input all of these coordinates into your GPS prior to leaving the cache. Brochures can be found in all of the Metroparks caches, park offices, nature centers and can be downloaded from the metorparks.com web site.
We hope you take a look at the information placed in the caches about the wildlife / animals selected for the crossword puzzle. Enjoy this new twist to our geocaching adventure as we attempt to highlight some of the fantastic wildlife that can be found in your Metroparks.
Participants completing this year’s adventure can turn in a completed crossword puzzle and will be entered into a drawing for one of twenty 2007 Metropark Vehicle Permits. Winners will receive a permit in early January 2007. Crossword Puzzles and Score Cards shall be turned in to any of our park offices by January 1, 2007. Caches for this year’s game will be pulled in January 2007.
The Metroparks will be hosting a picnic and geocaching event on September 9th at 11:00 am. The location this year is N42 34.622’ W82 48.019’. We hope you can join us.
Many of the caches and coins placed this year are located in or near nature study areas. Please note that pets are not allowed in these locations.
