Geocaching
Discover an Entire New World!
Northwest Arkansas is the perfect place for geocaching. Geocaching is a one of the nation's fastest-growing hobbies with enthusiasts around the globe. It combines technology with nature to produce an exciting new form of entertainment for those who like to be adventurous in their leisure time. In this modern-day treasure hunt, caches are hidden all over the world by individuals or groups. The location of each geocache is marked with Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates which are shared via the Internet. Enthusiasts use a hand-held GPS unit to hunt for the caches. Each hunt and the terrain around it vary in difficulty. Some caches contain only log books in small tins or film canisters, while others hold mini treasures inside containers such as ammo boxes. Standard geocaching protocol is to take something if you leave something.
The Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism is offering a special tourism promotion for The Natural State in 2007. "Cache in with The Natural State" is a year-long project designed to encourage travelers to explore the natural beauty of Arkansas with their GPS unit as their guide and prizes as their incentive. Each month, coordinates for additional caches will be released on www.Arkansas.com and at www.arkgeocaching.org. You'll find fantastic trade items, such as dinner for two and overnight stays in Arkansas along with many more treasures that represent The Natural State. Standard geocache practices apply.
