There’s a treasure hunt going on right in our own backyard.
Look closer at the local ice cream parlor or cemetery and you just might find geocaches close by.
Collecting the small tokens, known as geocaching, is a popular recreational activity, in which people can participate using a GPS, mobile device, or other mode of navigation to find geocaches at specific marked coordinates.
Participants record their finds online to show their friends and fellow geocachers where they have been, and those who collect all 22 caches in Terrebonne Parish can receive a Houma Geocoin to mark the achievement.
First established 2015, Houma hosts one of only 50 GeoTours in the whole world.
