On May the 3rd 2000 Dave Ulmer hid the first Geocache in the
United States. There are now over 1,000,000 caches across the
world. In light of this special occasion and also the fact that
there are a lot of new cachers in Port Lincoln and surrounding
areas we wanted to host our first event. It is designed to give
people a chance to meet and put faces to names, swap some stories
and also for those who want take part in a competition.
The listed coordinates will take you to a nearby park. There are
public toilets, BBQ facilities (1 BBQ plus we will have extra
available), Playground, Limited tables and chairs. Meet at 10:00am
and for those wanting to take part in the competition finishing
around 4:30pm. BYO Lunch and drinks. There is a service station
nearby but best to be prepared. As this event is aimed at meeting
the requirements of a 10 year event we must have a photo taken with
at least 10 people. This will be explained in further detail on the
day. We will take the photo at approximately 10:30am.
For those who wish to participate in the competition it will
begin after the photo and conclude at 4:00pm with time off for
lunch in the middle. You as the attendees will be setting the
competition for your fellow cachers so you decide how easy or how
hard it will be.
Every team will be given one or two containers which are theirs
to hide within the defined boundaries. This will happen between
10:30am and 12:00pm. After this we will return have a shared lunch
and then teams will go out to find the caches at 1:00pm. You will
have until 3:00pm to find as many as you can. All teams must return
back to GZ with the caches that they hid by 3:30pm.
The aim is to have fun and enjoy yoursleves. Whilst it is a
competition dont stress if you have not been involved in this type
of Geocaching event. All will be explained on the day and we
encourage you to take part. The competition is not mandatory. There
will be a few more surprises that we will advise on the day.
If you plan to attend then please log a will attend with the
number of adults and children attending. If you have any questions
then please feel free to send us an Email. Also watch this listing
so that you are aware of any changes and new information. We look
forward to seeing as many people as possible even you can only make
it for a short time.
