Geocache Description:


NoVAGO U: Hiking


There is nothing to find at the posted coordinates. In order to obtain the final coordinates for this cache, you must complete the NoVAGO U: Hiking Adventure Lab. If you haven't done one of these before, you can download the app at https://labs.geocaching.com.


Please note that in order to complete the lab caches, you will need a smartphone (or other device) capable of running the "Adventures" app.


This is the bonus cache for the NoVAGO U: Hiking Adventure Lab. To complete the adventure and find this cache, a round-trip hike of 4.25 miles will be required. The Adventure Lab consists of five (5) multiple choice questions and is placed along Boykins Landing trail. You will see a handful of other caches, too, so I hope you enjoy your time out on the trail.


If you belong to a Greek House and are participating in the NoVAGO U competition, make sure you submit some creative photos with your log. The submitted photos will be graded and awarded a letter grade, but there is no requirement to submit a photo with your online "found it" log. Adding a photo (or not) is strictly up to the individual.
