The Seaway Trail says it will continue the popular outdoor travel initiative introduced last summer, GeoTrail, through 2011.
The Great Lakes Seaway Trail GeoTrail was a hot destination for geocachers – people and groups who enjoy exploring with hand-held GPS units. With a successful launch of the 518-mile-long travel initiative in New York and Pennsylvania in August 2010, the tourism group will purchase more GeoTrail logbooks and the five collectible GeoCoins that feature the St. Lawrence Seaway, historic Fort Ontario, Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse, Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mist tour boat, and the Flagship Niagara.
Those who enjoy exploring with a hand-held GPS (Global Positioning System) unit qualify for each coin by finding at least 10 caches in the region for that coin: Thousand Islands/St. Lawrence River, Eastern Lake Ontario, Rochester/Central Lake Ontario, Buffalo/Niagara Falls, and Lake Erie in NY and PA.
A cadre of volunteers have hidden a total of 75 caches -- used military ammo boxes emblazoned with the Great Lakes Seaway Trail logo.
Cachers can learn more at www.seawaytrail.com/geotrail.
