Participants will register at the ‘GEO Information Booth’ at the event meeting site and receive coordinates for cache waypoints and their ‘cache’-card. Participants will ‘track down’ each cache in the series, stamp their ‘cache’-card using the provided stamp at each cache site, bring the card back to the ‘GEO Information Booth,’ and have their name put into a drawing for prizes. Participation and parking are free. Participants will need to provide their own GPS receiver. Each stop will allow the participants to learn about the area and amenities of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
