Dyken Pond Center’s Pot of Gold Geocache: Self-guided St. Patrick ’s Day Themed Scavenger Hunt
Can you find our hidden pot of gold? To celebrate the coming of spring and St. Patrick’s Day the seasonal geocache is a hidden pot of leprechaun gold! Geocaching is a scavenger hunt using a GPS unit to get to a hidden prize. Many GPS apps are available to download free on phones. Download a GPS app, enter the coordinates of our treasure and find your way to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Don’t see any rainbows? It is up to you to see how many different colors you can find as you search for our hidden treasure. Please sign the log book when you find the “Pot of Gold” and take only one prize per youth. We also love seeing people share their adventures on social media! Happy spring! Look for the pot of gold at: N 42° 43.574’ W 073° 25.750’. This activity is available any day in March!
