Geocache Description:


Credit for this VR Experience goes to Night Hunter of San Diego

Geocaching is unique in that it can be fun by yourself or with others.  Many people love the social aspect of the game.  I am counting on the fact that you do too.  I have gathered together 14 of Orange Countys dozens of core cachers to help you get this smile.  All you need to do is name each cacher in the Game.  They are all regular members of one or more of our regular events.  Easy right?  Just remember a few things that will make a difference. 

  • Spelling 
  • Capitalization 
  • Spacing
  • Other symbols and punctuation

Don't forget that your phone might like to autocorrect or auto-capitalize...  if you don't get the cacher's name exactly correct, you will be prompted to try again.  

I forsee three different types who may go for this cache.  

  • The Regulars - these folks intereact with each other regularly at these events and may only struggle with semantics (oh I didn't know it was spelled like that....)
  • Orange County Locals - these folks may know a few or most of the cachers but may need help with others.  My suggestion is to attend one of the events and bring along the picture you need help with. (or otherwise contact one of those who does.  Lifelines are encouraged)
  • Out-of-Towners - these folks will be at a major disadvantage.  If you are from out of town and think you may want to find this one, contact me ahead of time and I will offer you a cheat sheet.  Yes, I will verify your location, No, it won't be super easy.
