Cuyuna Country SRA Travel Bug

Mission: Visit all 72 Minnesota State Parks! Each of Minnesota's 72 state parks has its own unique Geocaching Travel Bug. State Park staff has challenged one another to see which Travel Bug will visit all 72 Geocaching History Challenge caches. Join in by helping move park Travel Bugs across Minnesota from cache to cache. Only caches that are part of the Minnesota State Park Geocaching History Challenge qualify.

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!

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