Geocache Description:

29 June 2024, 09:00 - 10:00

Geocaching Summer School is now open and we are going to talk about the mysterious world of TRACKABLES!  

You will learn the answers to these questions:

  • What are trackables?
  • I saw a trackable at an event, what do I do?
  • I found a trackable in a container, what do I do?
  • How do I log a trackable?  How do I log multiple trackables at one time?
  • Where do I get trackables of my own?  I'll go ahead and answer that question, in case you would like to buy one before the event.  One suggestion is: https://shop.geocaching.com/default/trackable-items .  There are other shops around, and even some on Amazon (but you will pay delivery fees, anyway).   It's not required to have a trackable to attend this class.  We'll have a couple of trackables as prizes and a bunch of hitchhikers to give away.    
  • What is a proxy? 
  • What is a hitchhiker?
  • What is the difference between a collectible and non-collectible trackable?  
  • Can I actually track a trackable's travels?

You will also have the opportunity to discover and trade trackables.  Bring yours, if you have any!  

The restaurant does not take reservations, but says I can call ahead to be put on the waitlist one hour prior.  I will see if we can get the patio.
