Sites Needed For New South Mountain GeoTrail
|
|
A regional nonprofit is asking residents of South Central PA to nominate their favorite places in the South Mountain region for a new adventure sport trail with a high-tech twist.
The Capital Resource Conservation and Development Area Council, in collaboration with the South Mountain Partnership, will inventory and connect these sites by creating the South Mountain GeoTrail: a collection of geocache sites that help both residents and visitors to explore the area and learn more about its unique attractions.
Sites for consideration along the South Mountain GeoTrail should have a good spot to hide a cache, and should represent the South Mountain region. They can be easy or difficult to access, since the chosen sites will represent a range of difficulty levels.
Geocaching is an outdoor adventure sport in which the participants use a Global Positioning System to locate hidden containers, called “caches.” A typical cache is a small waterproof container that holds a logbook and trinkets for participants to trade.
To nominate a site or to find more information on geocaching in the South Mountain region, click here or call 717-241-4361. Funding for this project is provided by the South Mountain Partnership through a grant from Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
