Event details: Introduction to Geocaching -REI Outdoor School
Description
Come learn about the world of Geocaching, the exciting, Internet-based hide-and-seek game that?s growing across the country! Our REI Outdoor School instructors will teach you to use your GPS unit and your powers of observation to find hidden caches around the Northern Virginia and Maryland area.
We will introduce strategies for locating cleverly hidden caches, the use of online ?geo-tools?, and Geocaching etiquette. Along the way, we will discuss basic GPS skills, including creating waypoints, plotting a course and transferring route information from a map to a GPS. For more information on the sport of Geocaching, visit www.geocaching.com. We will provide GPS units and maps, for your use, as we discover locally hidden caches.
Basics of Navigation Class is recommended (but not mandatory) to get the most from this outing.
