Geocaching meets Eagle Watching

It’s the time of year when eagle watching is a popular outdoor activity along the Mississippi River. In Alton, Illinois, eagle watching is getting a technological upgrade with the incorporation of the Alton Eagle Watching Application for Android and iPhone. There is also something else new to the hobby called eagle caching at the designated hot spots.

Like geocaching, each cache has a set of coordinates that are plugged into a GPS navigator and used by the explorer to search for the treasure. All the information needed, including the clues, coordinates and GPS rentals, can be found at www.VisitAlton.com/EagleCaching, or at the Alton Visitor’s Center.
