Geocachers of Kentucky

Trail of Caches to be held in Tompkinsville

Old Mulkey Meetinghouse State Historic Site will partner with Joe Harrison Carter Elem. School to host a "Trail of Caches" on Sat. May 3, 2008 in Tompkinsville KY. The event will serve as a fundraiser for the school's student reward program. Since Old Mulkey doesn't have developed trails this geocaching event will take participants to unique sites between JHC and the park. Students from JHC will be creating the majority of the caches and when possible helping to hide them. On site registration will begin at 10:00CT at Old Mulkey. There will be several first-to-find caches, as well as a prize for the most caches found. We guarantee at least 30 caches to find. Registration is $10.00 per geocacher the day of the event or $5.00 if you register by April 26. To register contact Sheila Rush at 270-487-8481 or sheila.rush@ky.gov.
