Indiana state parks

I didn't find the current geoTour or other event involving the Indiana state parks listed. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Don't know where you're looking, so can't tell if it's the wrong place or not.

 

Doesn't seem to be any Geotour in Indiana, not even in the "Find Your State" one.

On the other hand, here's a bookmark list titled "Indiana State Park Geo-tour":

Is it an "official" geotour? Doesn't seem like it.

 

Each cache is titled "Indiana State Parks CGC", and each description starts out "Indiana State Parks Centennial Geocaching Challenge". Using the word "challenge" is not correct, of course.

 

Looks like a geotour with the requisite passport/stamp collection requirement.

I have not heard it called a geo-tour. It is just a special state park activity for their centennial year. The geocache game ends November 6, 2016.

 

The above bookmark list is missing six of the participating State Park caches:

GC6JKTF,

GC6JD7G,

GC6JD86,

GC6JD8K,

GC6JD8C,

GC6JD6B.

 

This is not a "challenge" in the traditional geocache sense. Think of the layman's use of the word "challenge". The Department of Natural Resources is challenging people to visit the parks, and while there to do certain things.

 

There are other games which do not involve geocaches, but challenge people to do other things, such as hike X number of miles.
