What makes a great Earthcache? How do you submit one? Do you need a degree in geology to publish one?

Come hang out and we'll discuss all of this and more! We'll go over everything you need to know about creating and submitting a great Earthcache, including:

  • General Earthcache guidelines
  • Choosing a location 
  • Choosing a subject
  • Getting permission
  • Writing interesting and coherent cache descriptions
  • Creating good questions/logging tasks
  • Planetary Geology Earthcaches
  • Differences in the review process
  • Interaction with finders after publication

 

In addition, think of some of the great Earthcaches you've found in the past (local or elsewhere) and what you liked about them, we'll discuss those too!
