Mitchell County Geocache Trail is a group of 12 geocaches placed to highlight some of the unique and historical places in Mitchell County. Mitchell County has tons of unique places and small towns that each have their unique history and flair. Complete 10 of 12 locations, gathering stamps, and send back your card to the Tourism Office for a cool prize for taking some time exploring the county. Prizes will vary depending on the time of year. All locations will contain a stamp for you to put on your trail card in the appropriate location to show that you visited the site.
Geocaching is part of a worldwide game loved by GPS (Global Positioning System) users who are on the Internet. It’s like a scavenger hunt! A GPS user hides a “treasure” (a container), and publishes the exact coordinates so other GPS users can come on a “treasure hunt” to find it. Geocaching is for everyone with a sense of adventure and is free to do. Start a profile today at www.geocaching.com
