Geocaching - Spring Fling on Mackinac Island - April 24, 2010

404 

Come join us on beautiful Mackinac Island for a spring caching adventure! We will gather on the island in the morning at 10:30 am in the lobby of the Grand Hotel for a brief get-together prior to venturing out to visit the island caches. Coffee and tea will be provided for attendees, along with a few other goodies to get your engines up and running! Please feel free to wear your sweatshirts and jeans, as there is no dress code in effect at this time of the year! There is also no admission charge into the hotel.

The Cyclops family has about 70 caches on the island, many of which have been placed in remote areas of the island where tourists would not normally go. It is advisable to bring your bike, as the cache locations will take you traveling several miles around the perimeter and interior of the island. The ferry company charges $8.00 per bicycle to bring your bike over to the island. It is possible that there may be places on the island that offer bikes to rent, but I am unable to confirm this at this early date. Dinner will be on your own. There are several restaurants on the island which are open at this time of the year.

Overnight accommodations for this event can be made at the Grand Hotel (1-800-33-GRAND), which is offering a special “Early Opening” price of $160.00 a night per room (tax not included). A continental breakfast is included in your room rate.  Lodging at the Grand will be in the Millenium Wing (east end) of the hotel, and most rooms are furnished with two double beds. If you book a room at the Grand, please mention that you are part of the “Michigan Geocaching Organization” group, to get the above listed rate.
