Geocaching
Treasure Hunting In The 21st Century
J. R. R. Tolkien said ‘Not all those who wander are lost.’ And lots of folks have been having a great time wandering around the Great Outdoors Region lately because of the newest craze called Geocaching.

For those of you new this type of outdoor adventure, Geocaching is a treasure hunt for the 21st century. Armed with a GPS receiver (Global Positioning System), a set of coordinates tells you the location of a “cache.” A GPS unit is an electronic device that can determine your approximate location on the planet. Coordinates are normally given in Longitude and Latitude. A typical cache is most likely a strong box that can contain almost anything like small toys, cd’s, or trinkets hidden by other geocachers. All caches contain a log to record your accomplishment. Some even have a disposable camera, so you can take your picture and leave it so the owner of the cache can record it.

Most cache’s have a difficulty rating associated with them. Caches in the Wilds of Pennsylvania range from easy to very difficult.

The ultimate geocaching adventure would have you trekking through some of the most beautiful woodlands in the nation. Have your adventures during the day and stay overnight in one of our cabins, campgrounds, B&B’s or hotels.
