Geocache Description:


Welcome to the 9th annual Roseville Geocaching Event!

This event has been put together year after year by Bobby Wilson along with her Family WilsonExplorers3 and the City of Roseville Parks and Recreation. The Geocaching program in Roseville started with funding from Healthier Macomb Fitness Council, Macomb County, by providing the funds for GPS units for the city. Each year of the event consisted of, and starting with a Geocaching 101 course, on to new cache placements in the area and finally a grand picnic, this year will be on that same successful course.

With the economic crunch we all are feeling here in Michigan, the city programs are also affected by this. This year, many of the cachers that live here in Roseville are stepping up to assist the city with their help to once again make this a successful event. The Roseville cachers will not only be placing new caches for the event but they will also be the ones doing setup, clean up, 101 class, raffle, and the head cooks for the day. So come out and have some fun on our year 8 of a great day at the Roseville Parks!

The event start time will be 11 to noon an informal Geocaching 101 class, Event 12 noon and run until 3:00

Registration will be at noon. At about 2:00 we will be handing out cache sheets with the new caches. We are working on a game of sorts to have fun with the finding of these new caches. There will also be lists and downloads available on existing in the City of Roseville. For those who download your query’s you may want to do so before hand as there are over 694 caches within a 5 miles (at the time of this publishing) of this event.

At 12:30pm we will all be meeting for a Pot Luck lunch, so be sure to bring your favorite passing dish!
When you log the “will attend”, and please do so that we know how many people to plan for, be sure to tell us what you have plans on bringing.
We will be providing the Hot Dogs and Buns and Condiments.
This will help others to plan on what dishes they might like to bring. Be sure to bring your own non alcoholic drinks with you, we will provide Cool-Aid and water.

The event starts with an informal Geocaching 101 class at 11:00am.
The idea here will be to get new cachers started in the game and also to have a question and answer time for those that maybe newer to caching and need a little hand understanding finding and placing geocaches. The class will also have some of the experienced cachers on hand to take out any of the new cachers on their first hunts. The city has GPS’s to loan out to the new cachers as well.

When posting your "Will Attend", please include the number of people in your group that will be attending, and the passing dish you might bring. If you are an experienced cacher and would like to give assistance to a "newbie" please note that in your "Will Attend" log.

You will want to bring your folding chairs as the event is generally well attended. We are also excepting prize donations for our raffle table!

Be sure to bookmark this event as updates will be coming!
