GeoCaching

“Cache” in on the latest craze in adventure exploration . . .

And see Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley area in a whole new way - with geocaching! The news is out and spreading like wildfire: geocaching is the ultimate family “hide and seek” adventure that’s sweeping the globe. And anyone can participate; all you need is a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit - and your natural sense of adventure - and you’re ready to play!

The idea is simple . . .

In and around Columbus, containers, or “caches” have been hidden and the coordinates noted with a GPS unit.
Using your CacheCard from the Columbus Convention & Visitors Bureau, find the caches as your GPS guides you to the most scenic and significant treasures in our natural and historic area. You can pick up your CacheCard at the Visitors Center, located at 900 Front Avenue, Columbus, GA 31901.
Log onto www.geocaching.com and add your Columbus adventures to your validated finds.
