Are you a geocacher who wants to win a brand-new GPS? Then get out the GPS device you have now and cash in on Merriam tourism. Or make that "Cache in on Merriam Tourism," a summertime geocaching contest sponsored by the Merriam Visitors Bureau. The contest encourages high-tech, outdoor adventures by challenging residents and tourists to geocache their way through historical and recreational sites in Merriam. The visitors bureau has hidden five geocaches (outdoor containers) throughout the city. Go online to get each hidden cache's basic name, waypoints, description, and clues to help you find it. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a secret code at each of the five hidden locations and log the codes online for your chance to win a new Garmin eTrex Venture HC (or cash equivalent in the form of a Visa debit card). The contest is ongoing through August 31. For contest and cache information, see exploremerriam.com.
