A self-driving tour of historic geocaches in Pembina County has been planned for Sunday, September 24 at 2:00 pm. The Pembina County Historic Preservation Commission is hosting the tour, which will begin with a presentation about the hobby of geocaching at the Heritage Center at Icelandic State Park west of Cavalier, ND. Following the presentation, participants will proceed to the grounds of the Pembina County Museum to search for geocaches placed there. The group will split, with some going to geocaches in the Edinburg/Mountain area and some going to the LeRoy/Cavalier area. Transportation will be provided. Upon completion of the driving tour, refreshments will be served at the Heritage Center. This event is free and open to the public.
