I didn't know how to show this event in two states so I'm posting this note. Hope you can join us!


So, how accurate is your GPS???

Does it always get you within feet of the cache or does all those other folks always hide caches 100 feet off?!.


We challenge you to take part in a GPS accuracy game. Everyone will have the same coordinates then try to get the closets to the original placement. This is a fun way to demonstrate how so many GPS units with the same coordinates can vary in distance.

This is part of a day long celebration of our newly formed relationship with Ft. Benning's Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division. Ft. Benning is opening a large area around Uchee Creek Campground and Marina to geocaching.



Following is the event Time Line

10:00 - 3:00 Display and information table

Temporary caches can be found throughout the day as individuals or groups are interested

10:30 - 11:30 Geocaching 101 presentation

11:00 - 2:00 GPS Game Placements - stop by the information table for details

12:00 - 1:00 Lunch break - food will be available or you can bring your lunch

1:00 - 2:00 Geocaching 101 presentation

2:30 - 3:00 GPS Game prizes awarded then a Geocachers group meeting and wrap up

Ft. Benning's DFMWR division is providing wonderful gifts for the GPS game and door prizes. There will be fun activities and a dozen new caches to locate. This event is great for experienced cachers as well as cachers new to the sport. We hope you will join us for a day of fun at the Uchee Creek Activity Center as we celebrate and thank Ft. Benning for opening some of their land to geocaching!

What's the date? Sounds like fun.
