This MAKER MAGIC event will highlight key areas in the constructing, placing, and the publication process of a geocache. These are mainly things that have been learned over time but are worth sharing to hopefully get others started or offer inspiration. We welcome new and, of course, experienced geocachers to come along and share their knowledge and stories about geocaching, the more the merrier.
The Topics
Location
Where can you/can't you place a geocache? Geocaches radius rules. The different type of geocaches, what do they all mean?
Coordinates
Giving accurate coordinates to finders on your geocaches is very important. How do you do this?
Permissions
Some geocaches require landowner's permission, How will I know if I need this? How do I get it?
Cache Page
How do they look like that? How do you add pictures? What should you you include?
Submitting for Review
Reviewers they're a friendly bunch, but what do they need to know? What will they challenge?
Being a Cache Owner
It's a responsibility, put your cache out before you publish for example, maintenance is key, changes that can be made after published.
Geocaching on Apps
There are plenty of devices/apps that you can go geocaching with. The most popular are the Geocaching App, Cachly and c:geo. We're not experts but can share some hints/tips for using them
