This will be a multi-stage event. We will gather at Haeg Park at 8301 Penn Ave. So., Bloomington first thing on Saturday morning. At this stage we will exchange coordinates for hidden gifts at 9:30 am. You will go out and find your gift at the coordinates given, then at 11:30 am we will gather at Fuddruckers 3801 Minnesota Drive, Bloomington, MN to open the gifts you found and share our experience. This event will take some advance planning.
Step 1: For each person who wants to participate, purchase a $10 (approx.) gift and wrap it or camouflage it. The gift should be in some way related to geocaching and appropriate for all ages.
Step 2: Hide the gift in a location in or near Bloomington, Edina or Richfield . Take coordinates of the gift location. Identify the difficulty and terrain of the hiding location. Include parking coordinates if necessary.
Step 3: Bring the information from step 2 with you to Haeg Park at 8301 Penn Ave. So., Bloomington.
Step 4: The event coordinators will collect all the hidden gift locations and distribute them to the participants. We will do the gift exchange drawing promptly at 9:30 am.
Step 5: Go out and find the gift at the coordinates you receive. Do not open the gift at this time.
Step 6: Bring your gift to the the event at Fuddruckers (3801 Minnesota Drive). I have reserved space at Fuddruckers from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm for anyone interested in getting together for lunch.
Step 7: Each person will open their gift and share their experience.
