SmiLEE for the Camera - Photo Scavenger Hunt (CCE) Community Celebration Event

Come join us (Lee and DIane) on September 20th for a 2025 Community Celebration Event (CCE).

When we were awarded a Community Celebration Event (CCE), we went to work to think about a fun way to celebrate 25 years of geocaching with our geo-friends. Since 2007, Geocaching has taken us to many places we might not normally have otherwise gone. Along the way, we have taken many pictures to remember where we have been and things we have discovered. As a result, our geocaching Photo Gallery has over 2500 photos posted in it.

Recently, we have had opportunities to look back over the photos of the places we have been and things we have seen. Feeling nostalgic,we wanted to celebrate with the geocaching community with a Photo Scavenger Hunt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following items will be needed for this event:

1. A digital camera or a camera phone.
2. A GPS (or a Coordinate Location smartphone app) to mark the location of the object.
3. A pen/pencil to write the location down.

The event will begin at the posted coordinates above.

The event will start at 4:00pm on Saturday September 20th, 2025.

Please post your WILL ATTEND log so that we are able to prepare enough event supplies for everyone.

We will provide some Road Snacks and Beverages for your photographic adventures.

This is intended to be a family-friendly event, So feel free to bring the kiddos along to help search for the items.

You can  Participate in this "competition," as an individual or team up with another geocacher. We want to see how many unique places or items that everyone can find.

We are compiling a list of things that we are hoping you can find and have fun. This list will be provided at the event.
