Michigan Cache and Camp Draws RVers This Weekend

If you and your family are geocaching fans, head your RV to Hayes State Park in southeast Michigan’s scenic Irish Hills for the annual cache and camp weekend Friday through Sunday, September 30 to October 2, 2011. Hayes State Park is located at 1220 Wamplers Lake Road in Onsted in Lenawee County, Michigan, just 30 minutes southeast of Jackson, MI and an hour southwest of Ann Arbor.

An annual feature of Lazy Hayes Days, the cache and camp weekend draws RV campers and geocaching enthusiasts from across the state and beyond. Sponsored by the Michigan Geocaching Organization, this year Rockin Roddy Holbrook and the Cachestalkers will be on hand to make sure everyone has a good time.

Geocaching is like a high-tech treasure hunt that adds a little excitement to RV trips. Participants use Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to hide and find containers, the geocache equivalent of  ”treasure.” But the fun of geocaching is in the hunt. Special caches have been hidden for this weekend’s cache and camp event, including a night hike and kayak cache. A Friday night fire pit hot dog social kicks off activities. If you’re new to the sport, you’ll want to attend Saturday’s Geocaching 101 program. For more info contact the park office at 517-467-4701.
