Presenter: Geocaching enthusiast Jim Lockhart will lead the event.
The Lyme Land Trust and the East Haddam Land Trust have scheduled this field class to introduce those interested in learning how to geocache, the real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Instruction will be provided by active geocachers led by Jim Lockhart, a geocaching enthusiast.
To actively participate, bring a GPS-enabled device or smart phone. Before you attend, please download this Free Geocaching App to use during the event. To download the app, you will be asked to choose a unique geocaching user name and sign up for a free membership in geocaching.com.
This is a fun family activity suitable for all ages.
Using a smart phone or other GPS device, participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (treasure-filled container) hidden at that location. You may take some treasure as long as you replace it with something of your own. Or as geocachers say, “Take some stuff, leave some stuff.” We will provide the treasures for this event. There are also geocaches on Chestnut Hill Preserve, Beebe Preserve, Hartman Park and other locations in Lyme.
Registration is appreciated but not required. Please let us know if you are planning to attend. Email rsvp@lymelandtrust.org. Put “Geocaching” in the subject line.
