HIGH TECH MEETS HIGH TOUCH: Let technology be your 
guide to finding hidden treasure in State Parks ... on 
Passport to Texas.

PTT from TPW and the SFWR Program

Technology and nature join forces in the Texas Geocache 
Challenge.

:08 -- It's a new program that we're piloting in Central Texas. 
And really what it is is using technology and going out and 
finding treasure in state parks.
 
Chris Holmes, outdoor education coordinator for state 
parks, says to play ... visit the 12 State parks in the pilot 
between November and February and find each of the 
hidden caches. 

:17 -- What they're going to do is they'll go to the Texas Parks 
and Wildlife website and they'll look at the Texas Geocache 
Challenge site, and they'll have an opportunity to download a 
PDF passport. And this passport will have the 12 sites in there, 
with an area where they can prove that they've actually been to 
the geocache.

There's a stamp inside each cache unique to the site -- 
you'll use it to mark your passport. That'll prove you 
found the goodies.

:14 -- Once they've done the 12 sites, and they've got their 12 
stamps in the passport, then they can send it back to us, and 
we will provide an additional prize for them. It's going to be a 
certificate, and it's going to be a nice poster with a map of all 
the caches that they've been to.

No GPS? No problem. You can still play -- and we tell you 
how tomorrow.

That's our show ... the SFWR Program supports our 
series ... and through your purchase of fishing and hunting 
equipment and motor boat fuel it's funded nearly 20-
million dollars in conservation programs in Texas. For 
Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti.
