Somewhere Out There
Grab your GPS-enabled device and head to the center or more specifically to N 41° 08.782 W 096° 29.985.
In honor of the ARDC’s 50th anniversary in 2012, a geocache box was hidden. It's still tucked away waiting for the next geocachers to find it. Geocaching brings the outdoors and technology together. Armed with a GPS device and coordinates, participants attempt to find a hidden geocache box, often containing inexpensive tokens. The golden rule of geocaching is to leave something if you take something out of the box. Don't forget to sign the log sheet and leave a note at geocaching.com.
