Geocaching on the Polly Ann Trail
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.
To place a cache along the Polly Ann Trail a person must obtain a permit. Guidelines and an Application for Geocaching Placement can be found at the following link. Guidelines and Application Mail or e-mail application as an attachment to:
