Many of you have been to a flash mob event. You all get there at a certain time, sign the log, and leave a few minutes later. This is the same idea - get 5 people or more, at a specified location at the same time (all using smart phones), and then the coordinates for the cache are revealed.
There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there.
You will need at least 5 people with smart phones with data access to the internet. Lack the necessary numbers or equipment in your caching group? Feel free to tag along with another group, or even enlist your non-caching friends. Why not post a note on this page indicating that you would like to form or team up with a group and organise something offline between yourselves?
Posted coordinates are for the assembly spot for the "mob".

- Go to the posted coordinates
- Open http://www.chilehead.us/mob on your smart phone.
- Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 15m.)
- "Which mob are you attending?" When prompted with this question, enter the number 1693
- This will open a screen that will navigate you to the "MegaMob" final coordinates.
- Once the website verifies you are at the location, the counter bumps up.
- Next is to get all of your friends to do the same at this location. Everyone has to get within a 10-metre-radius sized circle. So squeeze in. You'll have to get you and 4 of your cellphone holding friends squeezed in there. Good luck with that.
- When the counter reaches the required mob size of 5, the coordinates for the cache are revealed.
- Stay in your tight group formation until the revealed information is recorded, or written down, or photographed, or memorized within your photographic memory. Record this information right away! If people leave the mob area, the page you are looking at may disappear and no longer show you the needed coordinates for the geocache. (It takes a minute.)
- Then enter those coordinates into your GPS receiver and go get it.
- Please appoint a MegaMob photographer and take a photograph of the mob gathered at the Assembly Spot (Historic Mandeville Bridge). Include it in one of the logs. DO NOT LOG A PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN AT THE FINAL CACHE LOCATION. This to preserve the spirit of this MegaMob by not disclosing the coordinates of the Final location to those who do not meet as a group as intended. Thanks.
You'll need your GPS to navigate to the cache. The cache is a 200ml Sistema container.
