March 10, 2012: Geo-Cache Bash (Official AZ Centennial Event)

In March, Cattail Cove State Park hosts an annual geo-caching treasure hunt. Geo Caching is related to orienteering where people find their way using a compass, except that Geo Caching takes advantage of personal, handheld Global Positioning Systems, commonly referred to as GPS, to seek out a specific location. There will be presentations by both the Lake Havasu City Museum of History and the local chapter of the Arizona Site Steward program. Plus a dedication of an existing ironwood tree, a cactus garden nature walk through our newly-expanded cactus garden, and nature hikes (flora and fauna) throughout the boundary of the park. In the evening enjoy a slideshow presentation on the history of Cattail Cove State Park. Download Event Flier ( 900 KB PDF)
