About This Item

Minnesota State Parks
Geocaching History Challenge


In 2008 the state of Minnesota turned 150 years old! And in honor of this anniversary the Minnesota State Parks has organized a statewide Geocaching History Challenge. With 72 state parks there is plenty to keep you busy hunting for caches and moving travel bugs across the state, not to mention the great hikes, photo-worthy views and untouched landscapes you can find along the way to each cache.

Each of Minnesota’s 72 state parks has a special Geocaching History Challenge cache. Inside each cache are collectable park history trading cards and, if you’re lucky, a Minnesota Sesquicentennial medallion.

You can even earn a special silver medallion when you locate all of the state park caches in a region. A total of four regional medallions can be earned.

For those true geocachers who find all 72 Minnesota State Park caches – they can earn a really special gold medallion!

For more information on the Minnesota State Park Geocaching History Challenge visit www.mnstateparks.info.

The Minnesota State Park Geocaching History Challenge will run through December 31, 2008 – so start geocaching!!

This is the first official state park travel bug we've seen. Experience has taught us that most TBs and coins that end up in state park caches disappear, so it's rare to find one! We normally have a policy of rescuing TBs from state park caches, but since this one is meant to travel from park to park, and since it's checkoff list indicated it hasn't been to Judge C.R. Magney yet, we decided to place it in the Magney safari cache. We hope it continues its travels.
