Modern-day pirates in search of booty can try their tracking skills Saturday at Camp Floyd State Park in northern Utah County.
The camp, 20 miles southwest of Lehi, will host a geocaching treasure hunt in the park that will guide GPS-wielding visitors to six historic locations around 40 acres of the 150-year-old camp and cemetery.
Park managers will award all participants who finish the approximately hourlong walk with a prize from the park's museum and commissary.
"I think a lot of people are excited about it this year," said James Seikel, the park's outreach-program specialist. "I've had a ton of calls about it."
Last year, 60 people from all across the state showed up to follow their digital compasses in the family-oriented activity.
The treasure hunt is included with the park's paid admission, $2 per person or $6 per family. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Seikel said participants are encouraged to bring their own GPS, but the park has one unit it will lend out, along with instructions for rookie geocachers.
And if bouncing signals off triangulating satellites 12,600 miles above the earth's surface doesn't appeal to some families, Seikel said, they should at least visit Saturday for the burgers and chips.
The park should be partly sunny on Saturday with a high of 70 degrees, according to the seven-day forecast from the National Weather Service.
