Geocaching is fun, easy and inexpensive.
On days that we may want to try something a bit different than our usual hike, my husband and I will go treasure hunting. Modern day treasure hunters, like us, are finding caches of treasure in dozens of locations in Pine and Richland townships. We are participating in a relatively new worldwide sport, geocaching (pronounced geocashing), and we are called geocachers. Today there are over 1.2 million caches hidden around the world.

Downtime between holidays perfect for recreational fun in Pine and Richland.
The week between Christmas and New Year's can seem very long for those with a house full of rambunctious children or suffering from a bit of cabin fever. Despite the colder weather, there are still plenty of things to do to burn off some energy – either yours or the children's. Located in the 105-acre Pine Community Park, the Pine Community Center will be hosting its first holiday recreation camp. To help keep the 6- to 12-year-old crowd occupied, the program will offer crafts, games and recreational activities Dec. 27– 30 from 9 a.m. to noon. The new program is fashioned after the popular summer recreation program offered through the center, according to Matthew Cooper, program coordinator. "We want to help keep the kids busy and doing …
