Geocaching is a high-tech, family oriented, treasure hunting game. GPS devices are used to locate hidden containers, called geocaches. Adventure seekers of all ages search for geocaches throughout the world and then they share experiences online. July 16th Your Chamber partnering with Clackamas County Tourism & Cultural Affairs, will launch our 2011 Geocache Challenge. This challenge will attract visitors to our area and encourages locals to explore our area. Watch for details, participate, and collect a coin.
