WAYNESBURG – The Greene County Department of Recreation is once again offering “Cache Me If You Can,” a geocaching game designed to showcase eight recreation sites across Greene County.

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game using global positioning system software and GPS-enabled devices, such as smartphones. Prizes or other items of interest are hidden at specific sets of GPS coordinates, and participants are challenged to find each geocache.

The Department of Recreation first introduced the game in Greene County last year and received entries from explorers as far away as Allegan, Mich.

For the Greene County game, participants must visit each of the eight sites, find a pass code located inside each geocache container and send the pass codes along with the participant’s name, address, phone number and T-shirt size to the Department of Recreation, 107 Fairgrounds Road, Waynesburg, PA 15370. Information can also be e-mailed to pblaker@co.green.pa.us.

All participants will receive an official “Cache Me If You Can” Department of Recreation T-shirt (only adult sizes available). The first 10 entries will receive a single-admission pool pass to Alpha Aquatic Center in Waynesburg. The game ends Dec. 1, 2013.

The eight county recreation sites are:

Mon View Park, 377 Stoney Hill Road, Greensboro, PA 15338

Wana B Park, 355 Ceylon Road, Carmichaels, PA 15320

Greene River Trail, Greene Cove Trail Head, Millsboro, PA 15487
