New to Geocaching?
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". NNJC will instruct the basics needed to enjoy this eco-friendly sport including suggested equipment, the web site, 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.
Experienced geocachers, your assistance is needed. We like to pair participants with a volunteer to head out on the trail. We will be setting up a series of temporary caches to demonstrate various hides and containers.
Please post a note and email me if we can count on you to volunteer, as little or as much time as you can offer. We need you to make this a success! Bring your GPS and give back to the community! Come learn about the sport, meet other cachers, hear stories about favorite hides and teach someone else your tricks. This is open to the public to promote geocaching. There will be several temporary caches placed close to the event, so bring your GPS and help others find their FTF! Everyone is welcome, come out and enjoy the day.
