‘It’s a High-Tech Treasure Hunt’

Susan Benedict, Washington, and her sons Alex, 13, and Matt, 10, didn’t mind the snow as they trekked through patches of it Sunday afternoon to check on a hidden treasure.
With them were friends Mike Willming, Washington, and his son, Mark, 11, who had created the hidden treasure, known as Bye Bye Birdie, back on Oct. 20.
The treasure is out in the open, if you know where to look and if you have the right equipment to narrow down the search area. All you need is a GPS device, or a special app on your Smartphone, said Benedict.
This is the world of geocaching. If you’re not familiar with it, geocaching is described as a “worldwide scavenger hunt” where people all over the world hide “caches” in random places, then post the GPS (longitude and latitude) coordinates of the location on the geocaching.com website along with a brief description and sometimes a few clues or codes to crack, so that others wanting to take on the challenge can go in search of it.

St. Louis County Parks invites geocachers to become TRAIL WATCH VOLUNTEERS!
There are over 140 miles of trails in St. Louis County Parks and your help is needed to monitor them. As a Trail Watch Volunteer, you’ll assist Park Rangers in keeping our trails safe and enjoyable for all! Volunteers, ages 16 years and older, must attend an initial 2-hour orientation (which requires pre-registration) at which Park Rangers will teach trail etiquette and reporting procedures. Trail Watch Volunteers serve as “ambassadors” and will not be asked to intervene in potentially dangerous situations, only to report them. After the orientation, they will be issued a Trail Watch Vest and ID Badge.
Winter/Spring 2013 Trail Watch Orientations
Wednesday, February 13 at Museum of Transportation from 7-9 pm
Tuesday, March 12 at St. Vincent Community Center from 7-9 pm
Wednesday, April 17 at Affton Community Center from 7-9 pm
Monday, May 6 at Tilles Park from 7-9 pm
