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!!

We dipped this TB in and out of this cache just to prove it was here! Enjoyed the walk to the cache in a quiet, not too busy area of the park. The leaves are just starting to turn and the sights, scents, and sounds are ushering in our favorite season of the year! It is hard to name a favorite region of the Minnesota State Parks though. They are all so diverse and special in their own ways but we have to admit that the north shore parks have their own style and beauty. NOW ON TO THE 72-PARK FINAL FIRST THING TOMORROW!!!

Our 72nd state park!!! We made it to all of them! What a summer/trip it has been! The views of the overlook and walking on the swinging suspension bridge high above the raging St. Louis River made Jay Cooke State Park just one more on the list of some wonderful places in Minnesota!. We were glad to have this little TB along with us today.
