Calling All Geocachers to Pennyrile Forest Oct. 3-5
DAWSON SPRINGS, Ky. -- Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park is inviting all geocachers to the park’s fourth geocaching weekend Oct. 3-5, 2008.
Geocaching is an exciting new sport in which people use their GPS (global positioning system) units to find hidden treasures. Pennyrile Forest’s event will offer a night cache, a find-the-most-caches contest, a first-to-find cache, and traditional caches. Organizers guarantee at least 30 caches to find. The registration fee is $10 per geocacher.
For more information call Rebecca Clark at 1-800-325-1711.
Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park is the perfect back-to-nature hideaway. The park is totally surrounded by Pennyrile State Forest, giving it a secluded atmosphere.
