Geocaching Fun

We have placed three (3) caches out for your geocaching enjoyment, and as a side bonus, there is a 10-state wide contest opportunity which is detailed below. In our watertight boxes you will find a log book and pencil, so be sure to sign your name if you find it. You will also find a variety of trinkets from keychains to stickers and buttons, please take one when you find it, and if you have something you'd like to leave in it's place for the next finder of the cache, we would appreciate ya!

Listings with GPS coordinates may be found at the below geocaching.com links.

What is not noted in the listings on geocaching.com is that these caches are also part of a Mississippi River Parkway Commission ten state-wide contest to get people out along the Mississippi River.

As part of the National Great River Road’s 70th Anniversary in 2008, the Mississippi River Parkway Commission is creating a special geocaching event (the contest rules are here).

The "National Great River Road 70th Anniversary Geocaching Event" will feature a series of geocaches created specifically for the 70th Anniversary celebration. Caches will be located throughout each of the ten Mississippi River States. Each of the caches will be historically themed.

Contests, prizes and other fun activities will appeal to geocachers of all ages and levels of geocaching experience.

For more information about the contest, please visit the FAQ.

Important note: In order to enter the contest you must make note of the symbols/icons in the lower right-hand corner of the white info card inside the cache lid.
