A modern day treasure hunt is taking place this weekend at the Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge. Geocache Louisa County is a program being offered this Saturday morning by the Louisa County Conservation Office in collaboration with the Trails Council. Geocache is where a small container is hidden like a treasure chest and people have small tokens to show they visited, like a playing card or marble.

Roxy Gerard is a Naturalist with the Louisa County Conservation Office and says 11 caches will be placed in interesting spots around the county, and people can navigate between each area by using GPS technology. She encourages those interested in the event to bring sturdy shoes and a smartphone or any other GPS track devices.

Geocache Louisa County will take place this Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters in Wapello. For more information contact the Louisa County Conservation Office at (319) 523-2131 or visit www.louisacountyconservation.org.
