Geocaching – 10th Annual Spring Fling on Mackinac Island – April 30, 2016


Come join us on beautiful Mackinac Island for a spring caching adventure! We will gather on the island in the morning at 10:00 am in the lower lobby of the Grand Hotel (Museum Room) for a brief get-together prior to venturing out to search for 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 140 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 own 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 will be open at this time of the year.

Come join us on Mackinac Island for our 10th Annual Spring Fling!

  • WHEN: Saturday, April 30th, 2016 (although you are quite welcome to arrive on Friday, April 29th)
  • WHERE: Mackinac Island/Grand Hotel
  • TIME: 10:00 am until ?
  • COST: $4:00 toll for the Mackinac Bridge each way. $25.00 round trip ferry ticket from St. Ignace (this is the current price, but we are working on negotiating a reduction in the fee). $8.00 charge to take your bike to the island. Dinner on your own. Lodging fees on your own (but we have negotiated a special rate from the Grand).
