    Cleveland Metroparks invites adults and families
    to explore the new world of GPS and geocaching, starting at
    CanalWayCenter in Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation in
    CuyahogaHeights.



     



    Never tried geocaching? "Geocaching is a family-friendly,
    fun way to meld nature and technology in a high-tech game of hide
    and seek across the fields and forests of Cleveland Metroparks.



     



    Explore geaocaching as a beginner at the following free
    "Treasure Hunt Adventure" programs in September:



     



    Treasure Hunt Adventure  (GPS for Beginners of All
    Ages)



    Saturday and Sunday, September 18 & 19
    �
    10 a.m. -OR-2 p.m.



    CanalWayCenter � Ohio & Erie Canal
    Reservation



    Cultural History Interpreter Doug Kusak provides a brief history
    of GPS (Global Positioning System) and an introduction to
    geocaching - a worldwide treasure hunt for fun that can be enjoyed
    in your own "backyard." Participants can learn the
    basics, and then, head out to find geocaches in Ohio & Erie
    Canal Reservation. Bring your own GPS unit or borrow one (quantity
    is limited and requires valid driver's license for duration of
    loan, not to exceed two hours). This is an excellent activity for
    the whole family. Registration is required.  For more
    information and to register, call 216-206-1000.



     



    In addition to these programs, park visitors can
    enjoy hunting for geocaches in a number of locations in the Park
    District. A geocache is usually a small container that contains a
    logbook for registering your find and small items. The hidden
    containers may include a camera or other trackable items and should
    be left at the location.  The hidden containers have a general
    rule that if an item is taken, an item should be left, and
    containers should be left at the exact site as others will be
    seeking them. Geocaching is enjoyed by people of all age groups all
    over the world, with a strong sense of community and support for
    the environment. Go to "http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103611198696&s=0&e=001x9x_b_S5HQxmhY3YCXjLdXH2BIMGoRSJgkhekS6NNnIm9-RkHAifpxiIyw_aRxOhS1uzOkieXptWVafclWu-R4RJW1XcRKx9CrZisKZLPICbxe6d-6P1Bg=="
