Roseburg’s next geocaching series will launch on Saturday.

A city release said hosted by Roseburg Parks and Recreation, the Discover Roseburg 15 Land of Umpqua Geocache series kick off is a free, family friendly event designed to draw people of all ages outside to experience more of the city and its businesses.

The kick-off will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Roseburg Public Library on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard, where parks staff will give out verbal instructions and coordinate-containing passports for a geocaching treasure hunt.

Participants should bring a smart phone or other device with a Global Positioning System, or satellite-based radio navigation system. Using a GPS to follow coordinates printed on passports, they will hunt for five real-world geocaches, or small containers, hidden around town, plus 15 virtual geocaches at special locations. Geocachers will navigate to all the spots and fill out their passports along the way.

Those who find all 20 geocaches in the challenge can redeem passports for a limited-edition collectors geocoin, or metal token, with a trackable ID number. Only 200 are available. The challenge continues until all geocoins are awarded.
