For the ninth year running, Colorado cachers ‘Abunai, inc’. are hosting a haunted maze. They have multiple events for the maze, including one coming up in a few weeks called “Fright In Falcon IX” (GC59F6N). They have a custom geocoin designed for the event, multiple drawings, a costume contest… And of course the haunted maze itself (which is open throughout the Halloween season)! Every year it is one of the largest events in the area!
