Default ARCC Geocache G6 May 9th



1st ARCC club G6 of 2015

"Geocache G6"
Location in Hot springs behind orvpark
silica pit rd
Look for flagging tape/sign.

Geocaching /ˈdʒiːoʊˌkęʃɪŋ/ is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.

A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook (with a pen or pencil). The geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little financial value, although sometimes they are sentimental. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure-hunting, letterboxing, and waymarking.

We are dog friendly.

I highly doubt anyone else will bring there dog.

Maybe Mike Jenkins new pup..

But they must be on leash while they are present at event.
