Gold Country GeoTour
Geocachers exploring British Columbia, Columbia have a new destination: Gold Country. A new Geocaching.com Gold Country GeoTour directs adventurers to discover the region’s gold mining legacy. More than 70 geocaches are placed at historic sites in southern British Columbia.
One geocacher who logged the caches writes, “I love the program as it takes me and my family to places that we otherwise would not explore… I love the fact that the program is child friendly and teaches us about local history.” Each geocache reveals a picture of the area’s rich past and includes a detailed cache page.
Geocachers who complete the current 72 geocaches receive a special puzzle Geocoin that leads them to an exclusive bonus cache. The Gold Country GeoTour is one of six current GeoTours around North America listed on Geocaching.com. Explore them all.
