On Saturday, August 24th, The Balsam Lake Mountain Fire Tower crew will host a special presentation on Geocaching at the summit of the mountain. At 12 noon, Paula Repka, a veteran worldwide geocacher will explain what this phenomena is all about – its history and terminology, how GPS technology works, give demonstrations on navigation techniques to help you find geocaches, and show several examples of containers. Paula will place several caches nearby for all to practice finding and set a permanent geocache. This event coincides with August being celebrated by geocachers around the world as the 31 days of Geocaching! We hope you will plan on spending a couple of hours at the summit with us for this fun event. Bring your own GPS if you have one. Rain moves the event to the next day, Sunday.
