High Tech Treasure Hunting at Paddlefest

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment. There is even an official geocaching worldwide website.

Bring your hand held GPS units with you and Frog Hollow Outdoors will provide you with the coordinates and instructions for your treasure hunt. Don't have a hand held gps, no problem! There will be handheld units available to rent for a nominal fee. Treasures will be located in container scattered along a paddle trail or walking trail. Information will be provided the day of the Paddlefest. Numbers will be in containers, corresponding to prizes later to be announced that day. Only the Paddlefest Committee will know which prizes correspond to each number.

Now for those who are like me and need the extra help. There is already a book in publication for people like us. I know I can find the bookstore, it's the treasure that lies beyond buried around the lake that I want to find during Paddlefest
