Donut Trail in Ohio offers new attraction
Pastry lovers in Ohio will be able to look for sweet treasure in Butler County thanks to a 12-stop “GeoTour” featuring doughnut shops in the area.
The Butler County Visitors Bureau teamed up with Geocaching.com to create a 12-stop “GeoTour” featuring doughnut shops around the county. It’s a follow-up to the Butler County Donut Trail that was launched in January.
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game that uses GPS-enabled devices, like a cellphone. Players are challenged to navigate to specific coordinates in an attempt to find a hidden container, called a geocache.
The GeoTour version of the Butler County Donut Trail features an official GeoTour passport that must be filled out with the official code word from each stop. Once all 12 caches and code words have been found, players will be rewarded with a commemorative Donut Trail GeoCoin.
The Donut Trail GeoTour is not the same as the Butler County Donut Trail, which rewards pilgrims to all nine stops with an exclusive T-shirt.
The Butler County Donut Trail recently earned the organization an award at a national conference.
