Back by popular demand. Caching for cash. We had a lot of fun doing this for a few years ... so here we go again. It's a great opportunity for geocachers new and old to test their skills, bid for prizes and meet each other. Wrapping up the day is a free barbeque.
EVENT DAY & DATE: SATURDAY AUGUST 9TH, 2014
EVENT TIME: 2:00 to 5:30 PM
WHERE: IRVING NATURE PARK, SAINT JOHN, NB. MEET AT THE SHELTER JUST ABOVE THE INFORMATION KIOSK.
There are a series of temporary geocaches hidden around the park, each with bundles of geobucks (play money) stashed in them. With the clock running find as many as you can, grab the bucks while competing against other geocachers. Use the geobucks to bid for prizes at an auction. In addition to the geobucks there is a "First To Find" piece in each container.
For the beginners, there will be a short “Introduction to Geocaching” presentation to help get you started. Teams will register before being given the cache coordinates and heading out on the hunt.
All interested parties are asked to meet at the shelter above the information kiosk.
The “Introduction to Geocaching” presentation starts at 2:00 p.m. The “Geocaching for Geobucks” competition will begin immediately following the presentation. The auction will follow the competition.
We will wrap up the day with a free barbeque.
Once again there is a way to earn bonus geobucks. If you have a digital camera, camcorder or smartphone … bring it!
Young and old, experienced and beginners join us for an afternoon of friendly geocaching with a twist.
Do it alone or do it as a team, just do it!
If you know someone who might like to attend but don't own a GPS the Irving Nature Park has Garmin GPS's which they will loan.
