Historic Third Ward Neighborhood Eau Claire, Wisconsin Geocaching in the Third Ward

What is Geocaching?

From http://www.geocaching.com/ "Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a gps unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache."

The Third Ward has a number of geocaches. As you seek them you will learn a little bit of Third Ward history.

These links are to external web pages. Since geocaches are not static it is a good idea to check the current status of a particular cache before seeking.

• John Adams - Part of the Presidential Series
• Where the Sidewalk Ends - Near the site of the old Third Ward/Bartlett School
• Historic Home Hunt - This is a multi-cache. There are eight historic homes to locate. Once you've found them you can determine the location of the final cache.
