GEOCACHING 101 PRESENTATION by AuntieNae
9:00-10:00 AM
Geocaching, a global game of treasure hunting using longitude and latitude coordinates, is a fun filled adventure for all ages. With a GPS receiver, and internet access, you are ready to explore and search for a "geocache". This session will instruct the basics needed to enjoy this eco-friendly sport including suggested equipment, the website, how to search for a cache and types of caches. You will enjoy the thrill of the hunt but the real discovery is the countless locations of natural beauty and historical interest you will find that you never knew existed. Families are encouraged to participate.
REGULAR CACHES At the time this cache page is being submitted, Dr Dolittle and AuntieNae are hiding winter friendly caches in-conjunction with this event. Further details will be posted here as the event gets closer.
