This is the Otak Group 2019 salute to all the Geocachers that visit the area throughout the year. We want to meet YOU!
Come to Otak for an opportunity to meet a few of your fellow geocachers for a day of new geoadventures, camaraderie, exercise, and some good old-fashioned fun. Talk of old caches, puzzles and HINTS.
This is a "Rain or Shine Event'. Caches will be placed throughout Mankato, North Mankato area. No particular focus. Wooded Parks, Urban and Trail caches. Should you care to join in all information needed will be available. Your individual needs to bring. All variations of Tott, (BIKE). INSECT REPELLENT is often forgotten.
We will have the Coffee, Water, Juice and Breakfast snacks should you join us at 8:00 AM.
Letterbox Hybrid A letterbox is another form of treasure hunting using clues instead of coordinates. In some cases, however, a letterbox has coordinates, and the owner has made it a letterbox and a geocache. None of our hides will have a inked stamp pad. You will need to bring your own. A game is to be played.


**** REGISTRATION ****
Registration/Staging Area Registration starts at 8:00AM at the Floyd Roberts Pavilion which are the coordinates provided for this GeoFest. The caching event will run from 9:00AM - 3:00PM.
A cache log sheet, hard copies of the coordinates, and a map showing the general location of the cache placements will be provided to participants during registration.
