Geocaching

The City of Norco Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is excited to offer its newest program... Geocaching!
“We create community through people, parks, trails and programs!” What is Geocaching? Geocaching (pronounced “geo-cashing”) is an outdoor treasure hunt using hand-held Global Positioning Systems (GPS) units. The geocachers hide and seek “treasures” which are typically waterproof containers that include a pencil, small notebook to serve as a logbook for finders, and several trinkets like key chains, small toys and buttons. Coordinates are available on the below link and geocachers enter them into their GPS units and head out to find the cache! Once the cache is found, the finders enter their names and date into the logbook in the cache. The finders can then take an object from the cache while leaving something of equal or higher value. The finders replace the geocache in the same place where they found it so future geocachers can locate it. Geocaches can range in size from a small film canister to bigger than a 5-gallon bucket. There are several different versions of geocaching.
