Geocaching is an international phenomenon and a great way to explore any new place. By entering coordinates into a GPS, you find locations within Red River North where treasures or “caches” are hidden. When you discover these hidden boxes, take a “swag” item, sign the log, and continue on your journey. But don’t forget to leave something in the cache for the next person!
