On Saturday, March 22, from 1 to 2:30 PM, enthusiasts of all ages are invited to partake in a geocaching escapade that's sure to be studded with "leprechaun surprises." It's a chance to combine technology with the great outdoors as you use GPS to uncover treasures left behind in the park.

Geocaching is a kind of high-tech treasure hunt where participants use GPS devices to locate hidden containers, often filled with trinkets or logbooks to sign. This particular event requires would-be treasure hunters to make reservations 24 hours prior. As per the details released by Scott County's announcement, every participant, including children 11 years and under who must be accompanied by an adult, needs to be registered. A noteworthy incentive: there is a discount of 20% available for groups of four or more.

The cost of participation is set at a modest $6 per person, making it an accessible activity for families and groups.

For those interested in brushing up on their GPS skills or delving into a new activity, this geocaching event aims to be as educational as it is entertaining. With an overt nod to Irish folklore and the playful leprechauns, it's a fitting way to get outside and celebrate the spring season.
