For the Reporter

Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation has partnered with the Washington State Geocaching Association (WSGA) and the Auburn Tourism Board to provide the Auburn Geocaching Adventure on Oct. 17.

The treasure hunt is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with registration from 8 to 10 a.m. at City Hall, 25 W. Main St. Participants will receive a passport and map at registration showing where they can find 20 new caches in the Auburn area. The caches will be released at 9 a.m.

The adventure is an effort to bring the community together with out-of-town visitors to explore Auburn and its park system.

Geocaching is an outdoor, high-tech, treasure hunting game where participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates, using GPS-enabled devices (including smart phones) to find hidden objects.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the free event.
