On November 15th the Amherst Y's Men sponsored a geocaching course at the Cumberland YMCA.
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called geocaches or caches ) anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and treasure, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Shown is Y's Peter Smith and Y's George Godfrey with course participants Linda, Lindsey and Christopher Jurcina.
