Geocaching in Bowling Green

Image
Have You Heard of 'Geocaching?'  If not, you're missing out on one of Bowling Green's favorite outdoor activities! Pronounced 'geo-cashing,' it's a chance to go on a real life treasure hunt, while taking in the unique sights and scenery of our beautiful community. Participants navigate using a specific set of coordinates in order to locate the cache (or treasure!), usually a container with a log book with signatures of others who have found the cache and possibly some various trinkets. You can claim a trinket as your reward, however, it is expected you replace it with another object for the next person to find their cache. Some caches involve multiple steps, clues, and puzzles, anything that will help add to the challenge. The Bowling Green Convention and Visitors Bureau has put together a 'geocaching tour' which features some of best sites Bowling Green has to offer. But you can hunt for many more caches, placed by members of the public a...
