This is a new version of an Intercache. You will need a smart phone with the ability to access the internet using a standard browser. Oh, and at least 6 other friends (for a total of 7) with smart phones (I have decided to keep the total number of people needed at 7 all year).
Ever hear of seeing how many people you can stuff into a phone booth? Or a VW bug? This will be similar, but a heck of a lot less intimate.
Many of you have been to a flash mob event. You all get there at a certain time, sign the log, and leave a few minutes later. This is the same idea - get 7 people at a specified location at the same time (all using smart phones), and then the coordinates for the cache are revealed.
Posted coordinates are at a location that may require special equipment to arrive at.
- Go to the posted coordinates
- Open http://www.chilehead.us/mob on your phone.
- Verify that the accuracy displayed is reasonable (hopefully less than 40 feet or so.)
- When prompted, enter the number 1058
- This will open a screen that will navigate you to the "mob" coords
- You may already be at the mob coords, if you're not, it's a short walk or paddle from the posted coords
- Once the website verifies you are at the location, the counter bumps up.
- When the counter reaches the required mob size, coordinates for the cache are revealed
- Enter the coords into your GPS right away! If people leave the mob area, the page you are looking at may not show the coords anymore (it takes a minute.)
- Please preserve the spirit of this GeoMob by not disclosing the coordinates of the Final location to those who do not meet as a group as intended. Thanks.
You'll need your GPS to navigate to the cache, as there is no associated web app yet.
