GEOCACHING @ PINE COBBLE! Maybe see a crashed plane??
Bringing back geocaching yet again for a fun, adventurous outdoor scavenger hunt! Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called geocaches or caches, at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world. Together we will drive to and hike up Pine Cobble via the Chestnut and Class of ‘98 trails, picking up as many as EIGHT geocaches on the way! There’s a glider crash up there to check out and geocache! Expect a moderate hike that can be steep at times, with some potential off-the-trail hiking or light bouldering to find geocaches – I haven’t found them either! Who knows how long it could take??? Meet at Paresky steps at 1:30PM and expect to be back before 6:00PM. Bring sturdy hiking shoes, a phone (optional), and a water bottle. Sign up here and email srd6 with any questions or concerns!
