The Sterling North History Geocache

The Sterling North Society has just launched The Sterling North History Geocache series. (GC156FH) Your adventures will take you to five different stages of historical value relating to Rascal and Sterling North. For more information, CLICK HERE or visit the Geocaching website.

What is Geocaching? Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
