This event is set to mark the 15th Anniversary of Trackables and takes place at the start of a worldwide race featuring the reincarnated Deadly Ducks. What better way to celebrate than to have our own Duck Race in which you could win your very own Official Trackable Deadly Duck?
On August 30, 2001, Geocaching.com Founder Jeremy Irish activated the world’s first trackable, TB1.
Jeremy says, “When we first started Travel Bugs, I released 7 Deadly Ducks in the wild.” Each of the new trackables were based on one of the deadly sins. These Deadly Ducks, with the names of Envy, Sloth, Pride, Gluttony, Lust and Wrath, headed out into the world to travel from geocache to geocache. (The Greed Deadly Duck was placed in a geocache that was never listed on Geocaching.com and may still be hidden in Virginia.)
Thus began a game within a game: trackables. Today there are more than 2,655,951 trackables traveling around the world — making friends, creating memories and patiently waiting to complete their mission.
This Event starts at 19:00 and should be finished by 20:00 on Wednesday, 20th July 2016. Attendees will be issued with a numbered duck that they should drop in to the water at the above coordinates when they hear the Quack. The owner of the winning duck will be presented with an unactivated Official Deadly Duck that they could enter into the HQ Duck Dash (should they wish to).
There is free parking available around GZ.
