GPS guided treasure hunters will be scouring Spring Mill State Park during the park's third annual Geocache Challenge. The theme for this year's event is "Things that once were, are no longer."

All participants must check in at the Nature Center between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to get the coordinates to the first cache. The challenge offers a unique tour of park property and will take most people about two to three hours to complete.

Warm drinks will be available at the Nature Center to help people stay warm. Possession of a GPS unit is necessary to participate in the event.

Geocache Challenge is a free event; however, park entrance fees of $5 per vehicle for Indiana residents and $7 per vehicle for non-Indiana residents will apply.
