Geocaching

If you liked hide and seek as a kid and wish you could still play today, have you tried geocaching? Geocaching is where players use a Global Positioning System (GPS) to seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.

The Wisconsin Geocaching Association has lots of links with information, events, clubs and forums for cachers who love to treasure hunt. Upcoming events include Boulder Junction Chamber’s 6th Annual Easter Cache Hunt Saturday March 30th 10:30AM in Winter Park and Walgreen's Easter Egg Geocache Hunt March 31st in Greenfield. Check out their website and enjoy your search Wisconsin Geocaching Association
