I had the extreme pleasure of doing two of the MN State Park History caches this weekend, the one in Crosby Manitou SP and the one at Temperence River SP. They both had something for most everyone, they were both multis that took you to 3 AWESOME locations in the parks. The hike was longish but if you’re interested in caching “for the journey” it was GREAT! However, if unable to take a long walk due to time constraints, physical limitations etc… they give you the coords directly to the final which were relatively close to the visitors center.
There are TBs whose mission is to travel from park to park and offer “medallions” to those who complete certain “missions”, plus they’ve printed up thousands of collector cards, placed in each cache, that are park specific which you can collect or whatever.
Truly a TON of effort went into creating this endeavor and the quality shows. In other words, if you get a chance to get to Minnesota and geocache their State Parks, I doubt you’ll leave disappointed. It would certainly be nice if WI could do something like this although geocaching has been allowed here for quite some time. The fact that MN is just now allowing geocaching in their State Parks certainly makes this endeavor somewhat more special.
A big thumbs up from this end!!! If anyone reads this who had any part in setting this up, a big THANK YOU! and GREAT JOB!
