Geocaching
There are over 40 geocaches hidden all over our trails at Keppoch! Challenge yourself, friends, and family to see if you can discover them all. They are typically located just off to the side of a marked trail. Please exercise caution during your exploration and refrain from venturing off marked trails and into unmarked areas.
Geocaching
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.
Geocaching can be considered a location-based game. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and sometimes a pen or pencil. The geocacher signs the log with their established code name and dates it, in order to prove that they found the cache. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it.
