It香蕉视频直播檚 almost 香蕉视频直播淭ime to Explore香蕉视频直播�, as the Gold Country Communities Society (GCCS) gears up for its fourth annual geocaching weekend from September 2 to 5.

The Geocache Event received funding from Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT), and was the NDIT香蕉视频直播檚 2,000th funding project since it was created in 2005. In recognition of this milestone, NDIT and GCCS have teamed up to create special 香蕉视频直播渢rust tokens香蕉视频直播�, which will be hidden in geocaches throughout the area. These 香蕉视频直播減athtags香蕉视频直播� can be found in the permanent Gold Country GeoTour geocaches, or earned at daily events. Geocachers who collect 10 of the trust token pathtags can redeem them for one of 30 specially-made geocoins.
A registration fee of $30 gives participants a bag full of goodies, including a barbecue voucher for Friday night, although anyone who wants to drop by the events is free to take part. Participants do not have to take part on all days; they can do as much or as little as they want, and mix-and-match the events to customize their weekend. Hadwin says there is a good mix of new geocaches to find, from easy to difficult, with most of the geocaches released for the event located outside communities on hiking trails.
香蕉视频直播淥n average we have about 400 unique entry logs for the geocaching weekend,香蕉视频直播� she says. 香蕉视频直播淎bout 90 per cent of the participants are from outside the Gold Country region.香蕉视频直播� She adds that organizers have been told that some people plan their yearly vacation around the annual event. 香蕉视频直播淲e have people come from Alberta and Seattle every year.
香蕉视频直播淲e hope to keep the event going and growing every year. As long as we have community support and interest from our visitors, we will continue to host this annual geocaching event.香蕉视频直播� She gives a big thank you to all the funders and supporters: the province of B.C.; BCGA; NDIT; the District of Lillooet and Village of Cache Creek; Landsharkz; Worldcaching; Backroad Mapbooks; and the residents of Clinton.
