Horseback Riding with Georgia Frontiers
Geocaching is essentially an outdoor treasure hunt, in which participants use a GPS or mobile device to navigate to geocache containers. The geocache containers, or “caches,” typically have a small notebook to log your visit and little souvenirs for you to take with you and replace with a small item you brought from home. There are geocaches hidden all over Cherokee County, but Boling Park happens to have three in close proximity, GC Codes: GC1H79N, GC5DC0 and GC6A26, hidden along the Etowah Trail System. Go to www.geocaching.com/play to download the free app, search by location or GC Code, and start finding! Chukkar Farm and Polo Club hosts polo matches at 2 p.m. on Sundays, May through October. These matches are open to the public, and are often held as fundraising events. The event facility in Alpharetta also hosts concerts on the first Friday and Saturday of each month, May through October. Check out https://chukkarfarmpoloclub.com for the calendar and more information.
