Hitting the Books Geotrail Field Trip
by Cola City Homeschoolers Geocache Club
Saturday, December 11th from 9am-4:30 pm
FREE — All Ages

Join the Cola City Homeschoolers Geocache Club for an in person meet-up on Saturday, December 11 for The “Hitting the Books” geotrail.
This Geotrail is a series of geocaches hidden throughout Spartanburg’s public libraries. Many of the geocaches require the finders to solve a puzzle on site. Anyone who proves that they have found at least 8 of the geocaches by collecting the stamps in each one earns a geocoin.

Since many of us are coming from other areas of the state, we’re following this itinerary to get all the caches in one day’s adventure. Bring along your own snacks and drinks for refreshments on the go.

Meet at Landrum Library at 9 am. Look for Elijah and Matthew to greet you.
