This event has been put together to draw
Geocachers in from all over. We have had a lot of fun putting together a weekend
that will surely be fun filled and very challenging. While we have competition
courses set up, we also have a ton of things to do for non competitors. You can
always do any of the courses without paying the competitors fees. This will
allow you to find over 20 actual caches in the park, do 2 multi cache courses
and find over 80 tagged waypoints while seeing some of the most scenic landscape
in Missouri.
We have the following competitor courses laid
out..
-
Course A - Saturday - Will be on mostly level
terrain and close to parking and road areas. It is mostly in pine areas.
-
Course B - Saturday - Will take you along the
Pickle Creek area and have some hills and bluffs for your enjoyment!
-
Course - "Couples" - Saturday - Will show you
some great areas as we merged a couple of courses for your pleasure.
-
Course - Team - Saturday - Will take you all
over the park and will highlight some of the most magnificent features of Hawn
State Park.
-
Course A - Sunday - Will take you along the
Pickle Creek area and point out some really nice features.
-
Course B - Sunday - Will take you up and down
some beautiful hills and give you some of the best views of Hawn.
-
Course - "Couples" - Sunday - will show you
more areas of Hawn. It will be a nice stroll along some really nice trails.
Scoring will be based upon the best times
turned in. Course A, B and Couples will be the best combined time from the
course on Saturday and Sunday. Each of these courses will have 10 waypoints on
Saturday and another 10 on Sunday.
The Team event will be scored based upon the
best time on the 1 course Saturday. The team course will have 20 waypoints and
can be done in any order by any team members. You must have all team members
present to finish.
If you are camping, we hope you have made
your own arrangements. Only those in the group area should send us an email to

Last thing to keep in mind, Every
