The Mob Cache site has been retired. It was fun while it lasted. You can still find this cache with the coordinates on this page.
There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there.
In order to find the location of this cache, you will need to bring along some of your friends!
Have your gang of THREE meet at the posted co-ordinates
You should pre-test that your phone's browser is compatible before attempting this cache. Do NOT use Chrome or a Chrome-based Browser.
Go the the Flash Mob URL: https://geotrailsw.com/mob/
Click 'Allow' if you see a button requestion device location.
You will see something like the following:
Notice: geomobs are currently broken on Android Chrome browser. Please use Firefox (or another non chrome based browser) until this is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
What is a geo mob?
It is not a flash mob event. It's similar though. A geomob allows you to create a physical geocache that requires a mob size of your choosing to collect themselves at a location of your choosing before the coordinates - or other message - is revealed. Everybody in the geomob will need a reasonably modern smart phone in order to participate.
It's a great type of cache to release at a geocaching event - a regular event or even a flash mob event. For an event you might want to have the mob size larger (such as 10 or more), but after the event bump it down to a smaller number such as 4.
Verify your phone is compatible
Before starting, make sure that the accuracy below is "reasonable", under 30 ft or so, and that the "read count" is updating.
If not, please make sure your GPS is on and that geolocation is enabled for the web browser your are using.
Current Location: S 27 39.734, E 153 07.913
[NOTE: If your S and E is zeros, your device's browser is NOT "location enabled": that is your BROWSER, not the device itself. 'Google' a solution for your browser.]
Accuracy (ft): 5.1 ft
Read Count: 16
Which mob are you attending?
- Use this code: 2918
- You will receive the next stage coordinates only when THREE fellow Geocachers are connected at the same time; i.e. your screen will show 3/3
- Don't forget to write down the coordinates at each stage!
You can WALK to each stage - they are not that far away, and probably safer to keep your geo-vehicles where they are.
Good Luck!
