Geocache Scavenger Hunt Wrap-Up

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Intrepid trekkers gathered on Magi’s Lawn at the EQLT office, 120 Ridge Road in Hardwick, on Sunday April 24th to reveal their cards! Participants spent the week checking out various EQLT preserves using the given coordinates to find the hidden geocache boxes. The ‘hiker’ level searched for small (2″x3″) boxes that were painted to provide more camouflage. They were tucked into stone walls or tree hollows or underneath railroad ties. The ‘trekker’ level searched for small metal discs about the size of a penny. On the discs were numbers, after putting together the numbers from all six original locations, the trekkers went to the seventh spot and found the box where they collected five sealed envelopes with their cards. During the reveal party, everyone opened their envelopes and posted their poker hands. Prizes included maple syrup from Hardwick Sugar Shack, honey from Stefan at Wendemuth Meadow, and an EQLT t-shirt and hat. Great thanks was given to geocache master Renee for her excellent work with hiding the caches. Everyone is excited for the challenge again in 2023, so stay posted and join in the fun!
