Introducing "RallyCaching"!
You have heard of Geocaching, right? Go to geocaching.com and search for a site near you that has "treasure" hidden for you to find. Drive there, get out, and try to find the described object using the hints given. In this year's Children's Book Run, part of your score will come from RallyCaching! As you drive the specified rally route, you will be directed to four different spots, where, if you can figure out the clues, you will find something that will earn you points for this event. It may involve an object that you can bring to the end, or a certain piece of information that you can write on your scoresheet. Whatever it is, finding the proper thing or info will get you closer to winning a trophy!
We will send the "General Instructions" to those who pre-register, about a week before the event. Come and find out what all the fun is about!
On public roads, always at legal speeds, with plenty of entertainment for you and a friend!
