Caching for cash. It was a great success last year so why not make it bigger and better this year – more caches to find, bonus geobucks and a free barbeque at the end of the day!

There are a series of temporary geocaches hidden around the park, each with bundles of geobucks (OK, play money) stashed in them. With the clock running find as many as you can, grab the bucks while competing against other geocachers. Use the geobucks to bid for prizes, courtesy of the Irving Nature Park, at an auction. For the beginners, there will be a short “Introduction to Geocaching” presentation to help get you started. Teams will register before being given the cache coordinates and heading out on the hunt.

All interested parties are asked to meet at the shelter above the information kiosk.

The “Introduction to Geocaching” presentation starts at 10:30 a.m. The “Geocaching for Geobucks” competition will begin around 12 noon. The auction will follow the competition and wrapping up the day will be a free barbeque.

New to the event is a way to earn bonus geobucks. If you have a digital camera or camcorder … bring it!

Young and old, experienced and beginners join us for an afternoon of friendly geocaching with a twist. Do it alone or do it as a team, just do it!
