Columbus Day, was first proclaimed in 1892 by President Benjamin Harrison to honor Italian Americans on the 400th anniversary of the 1492 expedition that changed the world forever. It honors Christopher Columbus, an Italian who was one of the greatest explorers! He discovered the new world that became America.
Celebrate the day by becoming an explorer yourself with geocaching! There are over 2 million geocaches in the world including most national parks and over 44 in state parks in Georgia. Click HERE for more information and locations.
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants must navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. Once found, participants must write down what treasure they found by using a logbook or log sheet provided on site. If participants take something, they must leave something of equal or greater value for other participants.
The Duluth GeoTour stretches across ten square miles of Duluth, GA showcasing their unique history, award-winning parks and must-see hot spots! You will experience quite a bit on this tour from hidden gems within the City and new adventures.
