Have you heard of Geocaching? It’s using multimillion dollar satellites to find Tupperware in the woods. It’s a great way to get outdoors and find new trails, and parks. Sweet Run State Park has over 15 caches hidden away in the park. Some are puzzles, some are traditional caches. Our Park Interpreter will teach you the basics and we will go to find one cache together in the park. In order to participate you must have a smartphone with the geocaching app downloaded, and a FREE account created. Meet at the Interpretive Center on Sunday November 10, @ 1 p.m. for a general overview on geocaching terminology, tools and etiquette. Please prepare for the cold weather. We will be outside most of the time.
