OK, I have found this site, now what exactly is this geocaching?

In short, geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt game utilizing global positioning satellites (GPS) to locate hidden containers (aka caches) that were placed out by other game participants. It is a family friendly game that encourages persons of all ages to get outside and visit places they may never ordinarily go. The premier website to search for caches in this area is www.geocaching.com. This is where all our local geocaches will be listed. You will need to register at their website to begin your hunt.

Day Trips Around The Area

We are going to try something new, to use this part of the site to showcase cache sites that we think others may enjoy visiting and finding the geocaches located there, but are easily accessible in a single day road trip.

Elgins Spring Water Well GCJ4CV

Elgins Spring Earthcache GC20PEP

 

These two caches (a traditional full of goodies, and an earthcache) are located at or near an artesian water well that is open to the general public. Feel free to bring empty jugs with you and fill them up with fresh spring water. You also may need to quench your thirst while searching for the cache or gathering the information needed to log the earthcache.

These are two fun caches to do, as well as getting to take home a treat of water.
There is a parking area, that let's you pull off the main highway, just follow the sign.

 

 

Meet and Greet

 

The North Louisiana Geocachers Saturday luncheon is now held at Logan's Roadhouse Restaurant

We try to meet every Saturday for lunch at 1:00 at Logan's Roadhouse in West Monroe. It's an open invitation for any/all geocachers to stop by and chat, eat, and all around socialize. Feel free to stop by and join in. Depending on how many we have, will dictate on where they seat us. The manager said he would do everything he could to accomodate us and make sure we all sit together. Just ask for the geocaching group when you show up.

Here are the coords to Logans.
