P.H. Hoeft State Park, the Presque Isle Conservation District and Michigan State University Extension are co-sponsoring a geocaching event for the Rogers City area from Friday, Aug. 28, through Sunday, Aug. 30.

The kickoff for this weekend event will begin with a meet and greet at the park's pavilion on Friday, Aug. 28. This will include check-in, refreshments, instructions, and some midnight caches.

On Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 29-30, participants will use their GPS units to find the caches. The 10 miles of paved biking trail from Rogers City to the 40 Mile Point Lighthouse will be an asset to anyone wanting to bike and geocache.

More than 50 caches will be available for the event. Caches will be available for all levels of expertise, from the beginner to the seasoned veteran. Prizes will be awarded during the weekend long event.

This is an opportunity to "GO-Get Outdoors" for a weekend of camping, biking, geocaching, and viewing some beautiful northern Michigan landscape. Geocaching is a great way to introduce children to the out-of-doors, and is an event for everyone in the family. More information on geocaching can be found at www.geocaching.com.

P.H. Hoeft State Park is located at 5001 US-23 North in Rogers City. For more information about this event, the park, accessibility, or persons needing accommodations to attend this event, contact the park supervisor at (989) 734-2543 (TTY/TDD 711 Michigan Relay Center for the hearing impaired), or visit www.michigan.gov/hoeft.
