We will have coordinates available for download to your device. Delorme, Garmin, Lowrance, and Magellan. We have MINI USB-B, MINI USB, AND MICRO USB cables. If you are not sure, please bring your own. If you have a different brand of GPSr, we will try to assist you in loading the way points, but we make no guarantees that we will be successful. Permanent caches will be posted on Geocaching.com after 5 p.m.


Travel Bugs
We will be having a temporary travel bug hotel set up at registration so trading of trackables can occur. The travel bugs will be at the Elks Nature Center later in the day for the post event. Any travel bugs left over will be moved along by the Otak Group.
