Weather update: Checking number of weather sites and TV, a rain is expected on the night before the event. It should end by the morning, giving us nice weather for geocaching (Not that some drops should affect a real geocacher...). Hence, there are no changes.
Anyway, bring warm clothes, it is usually cold in Jerusalem evenings.

We will be meeting, at the listed coordinates, for an outdoor party/picnic to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game of Geocaching on Sunday, May 2nd (Lag Ba'Omer).

Everyone is welcome to attend - Israelis and visitors, veteran cachers and those who just plan to try it, old and young - come and meet others with the same interest.

Schedule

• From the morning: independent Geocaching activity. 10 new caches will be hidden in the event area. The caches info will be published on Saturday evening. Expect traditional, multi, puzzle and first time in Israel: Letterbox and Wherigo caches!
• 15:00 Introduction to Geocaching. Experienced geocachers will introduce newcomers to the game.
• 16:00 CITO event. Geocachers don't forget our commitment to the environment. It's the day after the Lag Ba'omer camp fires and lot of CITO work is needed. Participants will get a "wild card" which will help them to find the final cache and another icon for their caches page.
