April
27th - Geocaching Day ~ Museum at Campbell River
The Museum at Campbell River will host
an afternoon designed to introduce people to the adventurous world of
geocaching. On Saturday, April 27, from 1 pm to 3 pm the Museum’s ‘Geocaching
Day’ is open to novices and experts alike. Geocaching is a sport popular around
the world. Geocachers hide waterproof containers of various sizes in places
accessible to the public, note the latitude and longitude with a GPS (global
positioning system) unit, and post the locations online. Using the posted
coordinates, other players attempt to track down the hidden caches. ‘Caches’
are hidden in any spot and vary in scale. The world’s largest geocache is in
Coombs BC. When found, they open it to sign their name in the logbook and find
a potential surprise. It is these surprises where ‘Geo-Trackables’ come in. A
Trackable is a form of physical geocaching ‘game piece’. Each Trackable is
etched with a unique code that can be used to log its movements on the website
Geocaching.com as it travels in the real world. Some of these items have
traveled hundreds of thousands of miles thanks to geocachers who move them from
cache to cache! For Geocachers finding a trackable is a thrilling part of the
game.
The Museum is also looking for local
groups interested in sponsoring their own ‘Geocaching Trackable Item’. These
items, as they travel the globe, can be given an on-line Profile that includes
a history of your group, photographs, or an assigned ‘special mission’. With
over 4 million geocachers and over 1 million geocaches, this is a great way to
put your group out into the world for explorers to see! Want to learn more?
Come to the Museum on April 27 to get involved in the intriguing world of
geocaching!
