"The Dalles (Ore.) Chamber of Commerce has hidden twelve caches throughout Dalles, highlighting historic areas.The plan is to add more caches and buy GPS units that the Chamber can rent out to visitors. Northern Wasco County Park and Recreation District (NWCPRD) already owns 10 GPS units, and loans them to visitors in exchange for their driver’s license number.

"The Dalles’ sister city. Miyoshi City in Japan, sent a group to visit the Gorge from July 23-27. One of the highlights of their trip was late-morning geocaching along the riverfront trail."

The convention and visitors bureaus in Kosciusko, Allen and Marshall counties created the Highway 30 Cache Dash program this spring to draw visitors to nine sites spread out among the three counties. The high-tech treasure hunt, which will last at least through the fall, capitalizes on the growing popularity of geocaching, in which players use GPS units to find their way to mystery sites.

“It’s new and unique, and it’s a hot trend,” said Mary Kittrell, executive director of the Kosciusko County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The three CVBs developed their geocaching program with three themes based on the highway the counties share. Geocachers can travel the highlights trail, which takes them to better-known attractions; the foodie trail, based on restaurants and other food-oriented businesses; or the famous people trail, which combines local sites linked with historical saints and sinners.

Geocachers can begin in any of the three counties, and the bureaus offered gift baskets to the first from each county to complete all three trails.
