Geocachers offer new challenge
Next Saturday, geocaching fans will gather for their annual get-together at the Red Lion to talk all things geocaching, but the real fun will follow.
Starting Feb. 13, local geocachers will offer a new test — Oregon’s Adventure Coast Challenge.
With 21 sets of coordinates to lead cachers to chosen locations around Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston, avid participants in the increasingly popular, technology-fueled treasure hunt will find a fun and difficult test, even if you’re familiar with the area.
“A lot of them are things that people don’t even know exist out here,” said Steve Wilcox, a local geocaching enthusiast who helped organize this event.
