Timeline:
Caching will occur for 9 hours on Saturday, September 26 from 8:30am until 5:30pm. Starting at 8:30am, cache coordinates and descriptions in official diaries will be released at IGO Hike-n-Seek 2020 headquarters at the posted coordinates. The hosts will have several computers available on site from which the master GPS file may be downloaded -- bring your own special cables if necessary. Anyone arriving after 8am but before 8:30am can turn over any GPS units to have caches pre-loaded but no units will be handed back until 8:30am. Hosts will be available to answer questions throughout the day. If you would prefer to receive the GPX file remotely at 8:30 to load to your own device at a different location, contact IGO through its GC profile or Facebook page with the email address to which you would like to receive the file.
Return to the shelter after 5:30 to join us for dinner at the separate People's Choice Awards event (GC8M833.) More details will be posted in the near future.

**Cache at your own risk**
Geocaching, hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities involve risk to both persons and property. There are many variables including, but not limited to, weather, fitness level, terrain features and outdoor experience, that must be considered prior to seeking a Cache. Be prepared for your journey and be sure to check the current weather and conditions before heading outdoors. Always exercise common sense and caution.
**Remember to be good ambassadors to nature. We as geocachers have a responsibility to leave it as we found it, so others may enjoy nature's glory. Always replace the cache the way you found it, so others may enjoy the find.
