Geocaching to take place in Johns Creek

Johns Creek is kicking off its geocaching game.

Geocaching allows participants to use their GPS units to navigate to a specific set of coordinates, and then attempt to find the container hidden at that location. Inside the container are small prizes. Participants sign a logbook, and return the container where it was hidden. Often people leave trinkets for others to find.

Geocaches: Autrey Mill Nature Preserve, 9770 Autrey Mill Road; Newtown Park, 3150 Old Alabama Road; Ocee Park, 10900 Buice Road; and Shakerag Park, 10945 Rogers Circle.
