Join the Howard County Conservation Board in their Outdor Education series as guest speaker The Northwood Goonies teaches future geocachers about geocaching.
This event will be like any other geocaching 101 event as attendees will be able to learn how to use a GPS unit and what geocaching is all about. There will be some temporary geocaches hidden that day to be found. We will start at 2pm.
The event will be held at the Prairie's Edge Nature Center located at 11562 Valley Avenue, Cresco, Iowa 52136. The above coordiantes are not accurate, and are listed to the west of the geocache located in the park, so follow the driving directions.
Driving Directions: From HWY 9 in Cresco at the west set of stop lights, go south on 3rd St. W one block, take a right onto 4th Ave SW, and take the next left onto Vernon Road. Stay on Vernon Road. It will change into Valley Avenue. You will see the Prairie's Edge Nature Center on the east side of the road about 2 miles south of Cresco.
For those who do not have their own gps units the there will be some available to borrow.
To all other geocachers please come and help out any newbies, and chime in with any other information. You will be able to log all of the temporary caches as well as the event.
There is camping available at the new campground. Electric and water hookup is available as well as a showerhouse.
