Head to Corning, Elmira, Bath, or Hammondsport with your GPS for the Sojourn Geocache Trail, offering a series of caches along the shores and within the Chemung and Susquehanna River. Get a Sojourn Passport ahead of time, then stamp the passport each time you find a cache. Once you have successfully collected 12 or more different stamps, you are eligible to receive a limited edition commemorative coin.
