Here's
a unique way to visit historical sites: Geocaching. The concept is to
use GPS technology to locate a specific site, leave a token for future
Geocachers and take one someone else left. A number of geocaches are
cropping up at historical sites. There are a number of advantages, not
to mention the obvious chance to visit someplace truly interesting and
typically off the beaten path. Geocachers report on the sites,
including vandalism, deteriorating conditions, etc. Many also clean
sites and remove any trash and debris.
Take a visit to a geocache site! There are several in Shelby County (do
a search for sites near zip code 62565). One cache is at Jasper
Douthit's Lithia Springs Chautauqua.
Enjoy a
Historic Geocache experience!
