2017 Battle Ground Geocoin Challenge at Harvest Days
Come join us for Harvest Days and the 5th annual Battle Ground Geocoin challenge from 11:30 am to noon. Watch this page for further announcements...
We have had a great time hosting cachers from other communities in Battle Ground over the last four years and this has gotten to be a popular event. Last year we had people from many different points of the compass visit to explore several multicaches. This year we are going back to the traditional hides (with some potential twists) with the theme of Bold, Brilliant, Beautiful. Dress in your boldest or most brilliant colors and come join other geocachers at the Gardner Center in Battle Ground to share stories, trade and log trackables.
At this event more details will be provided for those wanting to qualify to receive the 2017 Battle Ground Geocoin. The theme this year is Bold, Brilliant, Beautiful, Battle Ground and caches are planned to bring geocachers to different scenic, historical, and significant places in and around the area.
There are a limited number of trackable Battle Ground Geocoins that will be available to those that complete the challenge, so by attending this event, you will greatly improve your chance to earn the coin. A group photo will be around 11:45 but come early for a chance to visit with cachers from near and far. Come for a fun-filled Harvest Days weekend and enjoy some great caching in and around Battle Ground!
