[Az-Geocaching] Geocaching event?

[Roping The Wind]

I got this email recently from the ARS racing series. They are having some 
kind of a geocaching event at Squaw Peak Mountain Park area. It says there 
will be 25 pre hidden caches. I wonder if these are already existing caches 
or if they are placing some just for the event? Anyways, this is all I know 
below. Read on if interested. I might consider giving it a try if they are 
utilizing existing caches, since there are alot of new ones in that area I 
havent found yet.

Subject : 	Upcoming Adventure Racing & GeoCaching events near Phoenix.

Just a few more days to register for the Full Moon Over Phoenix nighttime 
Adventure Race this Saturday, April 23rd.  This will be a new challenge to 
see how well you can navigate at night.  This race will include kayaking, 
mountain biking, & trekking.  The start will be located at SB Cove on 
Bartlett Lake.  We hope to see you Saturday.

Also, if you’ve ever considered GeoCaching, we’ve got a fun GeoCaching 
competition coming up in Dreamy Draw Park near Piestewa Peak on Saturday May 
7th.  You’ll use your GPS unit to help you find 25 pre-hidden “Cache’s” 
throughout the area in 3 hours.

Look for a Beginners Adventure Racing series this summer at Saguaro Lake.  
Each race will be between 10-20K long and include 2 disciplines: kayak/bike, 
bike/trek, trek/tube.  Their will also be mystery events for you to pass 
through.  The map reading will be relatively simple with no compass 
necessary.

events.
