How Many Geobears Does it Take? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin:
Mob caches were published as an experiment using specific technology that required players to be in the same place and to enter a code at the same time to learn the final coordinates. This was an exception to the guidelines at the time and is not a publishable concept today.

The original site used for this purpose has been removed, and therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active caches originally intended to be solved using this method. Due to privacy laws, we are not seeking an alternative site at this time. We are respectfully requesting that the cache owner please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

Geocache Description:

We love caching as a group makes the hikes and the caching fly by and more enjoyable (plus the extra eyes out for the cache helps out too). The Geobears try to go out as a group at least once a month (if not more in the good weather). Decided this would be a great cache to place to celebrate our caching friendship Geobear style!

How Many Geobears Does it take to Mob a place??

There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there.

This is a new version of an Intercache. You will need a smart phone with the ability to access the internet using a standard browser.

Many of you have been to a flash mob event. This is the same idea - get some people together at a specified location at the same time (all using smart phones), and then the coordinates for the cache are revealed.

Go to the posted coordinates
Open (visit link)  on your smart phone.
Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 40 feet or so.)
"Which mob are you attending?" When prompted with this question, enter the number 3168
This will open a screen that will navigate you to the "geo-mob" coordinates.
You may already be at the mob coordinates, if you're not, it's a short walk from the posted 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 and meet you at this location. Everyone has to get within a 30-foot-radius sized circle.
When the counter reaches the required mob size, 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 preserve the spirit of this Geo-Mob 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, as there is no associated web app yet.

No night caching
