Exploring Sycamore’s parks

Geocaching helps district celebrate 90 years

SYCAMORE – From old German coins to little plastic bugs, geocachers did not know what awaited them Sunday.

As part of its 90th anniversary celebration, the Sycamore Park District held a Geocaching Treasure Hunt on Sunday that sent participants across nine Sycamore parks. Treasure hunters started at the golf course clubhouse, where they were given clues and coordinates before firing up GPS devices and starting their search.

Kelly Colness, known more commonly as “SycoScouter” to local geocachers, helped park district officials hide the items around the parks. He said the caches could be hidden in trees, on posts or under rocks.
