Imagine if there was an extra day in the year for geocaching. Well, this year there is! Start planning your outings to get your Leap Day 2024 digital souvenir by finding a cache, Adventure Lab*, or attending an event on Friday, February 29th.
The banner is a screenshot shows caches in the Upper Hood River Valley, where our inn, Old Parkdale Inn Bed and Breakfast is located. The star signifies the cache we placed on our property GC4FH6G Parkdale Travel Bug Inn. We’d be more than excited to share some of our favorite, local caches.
“Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment. Geocaching.com is the headquarters for the activity”
