Geocaching and the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails

One of the many projects slated for the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails is to incorporate geocaching into the trail. For those unfamiliar with "geocaching", it is  a treasure hunt using GPS technology. On the website  geocaching.com, there is an entire web page explaining geocaching and its origin-an interesting  five to ten minute read (http://www.geocaching.com/about/history.aspx).

Treasure hunts are a great way to explore an area closer. Looking for clues demand attention to detail. All demographics are equal. Geo caching takes the treasure hunt one step forward and adds technology in a playful and educational way.

Soon we will begin to place the caches along the trail. Please send feedback and photos as you follow the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails, geocaching style!
