To help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service ...

To help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, the museum has created a geocache opportunity for participants to travel a miniature ground sloth model named "Lil' Clawd" to as many national parks throughout the country as possible by August 25, 2017.

Using GPS location devices, members of the Geocaching.com community (free registration) can find the geocache that Lil' Clawd is located, log the entry on the Geocaching.com website, then travel it to a new geocache location within or around another national park for others to find! For the full list of the national parks participants can take Lil' Clawd, visit http://www.vmnh.net/geocache.
