Chemiluminescence, or better known
as Box #3 was one of the caches used for the Blue Marsh
GeoEvent. The fourteen boxes hidden for this event contained
equipment (fire starters, signal mirrors, whistles, ect.), or
information needed for survival in the wilderness.
Chemiluminescence is the emission of light through a chemical
reaction. A glowstick or lightstick is a transparent plastic tube
which contains chemical substances capable to produce light which
does not require an electrical power source.
This cache (Box #3), the largest box used for the event contains
Glowsticks.
Hikers should carry glowsticks in case they get caught out at
night to signal help. glowsticks are an exellent source of light.
They weigh less than a typical flashlight and can be hung for
greater visibilty. Glowsticks are the perfect safety lighting
device for hikers. Glowsticks are waterproof, do not use batteries,
and are inexpensive and disposable.
Rescuers can use mini glowsticks as a trail to find their way
back. Larger glowsticks can be used to mark pickup points / landing
zones for helicopters or other aircraft. Different colored
glowsticks can be used to mark higher priority subjects.
The contents of this cache is glowsticks. Please try to keep the
contents of this cache relative to chemiluminescence, or things
that glow in the dark.
Please rehide exactly as you found it. You looked hard, don't
make it easier for the next cacher.
