With a GPS receiver and internet access, you are ready to explore and hunt for a "geocache". Learn the basics necessary to enjoy this eco-sport including suggested equipment, GPS units, the website, how to search for a cache and types of caches. Program will include searching for temporary caches hidden on site. 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. Please dress for the weather. Workshop will include both an indoors and outdoors portion. If you have a GPS unit, please bring it (not required). Several GPS units will be available for use at this workshop.
