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. 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).
