The geocaching portion of the Border to Beaches Event has been completed. There are 7 traditional caches & 1 puzzle cache. All caches are good to go and will be published on June 4, 2010. A handout listing the coordinates of these caches will be available at the start of the event for those that couldn't download them before Saturday, June 5th morning. There is also a caching polker derby contest attached to this event on June 5th. Enoy the trail, it is stunningly beautiful.

That's more organized than I've been for the Harte Trail one. I'm actually still waiting for an email from the organizers with a map of the new section before I head out with some caches. Depending on the section, might have to do some temporary training ones.
