Geocaching at Three Hydroelectric Dams

[+The Navigatorz]

Three dams on the Columbia River in Central Washington are adding a new activity for visitors to participate in, and that activity is Geocaching!! The participating dams are: Rocky Reach dam near Wenatchee, Chief Joseph dam near Bridgeport, and Grand Coulee dam at Grand Coulee, WA. New geocaches will be hidden on their grounds, and they will be activated on May 27, the day of an Event held at Chief Joseph dam (click link below to see the Event page). At the Event, representatives from the three dams will explain a Three Dam Geocache (D³) Challenge. The agencies involved (Chelan County PUD, The Army Corps of Engineers, and The Bureau of Reclamation) are promoting geocaching so lets show them our appreciation by attending the Event. GPS units will be available for non-geocachers to borrow. Here is the Event web page. They are hoping for a large turnout, so please come to the Event and bring your family and friends.

This is so cool! Ever since Mr Gadget #2 mentioned it, I've been excited. Good on Navigatorz for working with the agencies to set this up, and look forward to attending. Let WSGA know if you need help with the event or in promoting it.

 

Edit: corrected to give credit to Navigatorz, not Cache-cadia, for setting this up with the dams.
