Okay, I started caching at this past Christmas and since have become a bit of a fanatic. You know how everyone says after their first cache, "I think I'm hooked"? Well I really am. I will reach my 200th tomorrow on my 97th day of caching.
It seems I have become a bit of a evangelist for the geo-cause as well. Since I never shut up about caching, I have sparked the interest in caching in several of those around me. I can think of at least six active cachers that have gotten their start because I took them out with me in the last couple of months, showed them how to find caches and get their own accounts etc.
Anyway, on to the point. I have a family reunion coming up in Leavenworth, WA at the end of June this year. I have been asked to come up with some sort of day-activity/game related to GPS or Geocaching that we can play for a day there.
The idea is that we will split up into teams, each team will be assigned a GPSr and then...???? Does anyone have any ideas for me? We want something more than a "see how many caches you can get in a day" game. Ideally, I envision a game where each team gets in a car and takes off and does something that takes 5-6 hours?
The ages and ability levels of participants will very from old folks to babies in strollers so it can't be overly strenuous. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Any ideas out there that you all could share would be greatly appreciated!!!
