Need help getting info on how to locate caches at local park

Good afternoon, I am a leader of a YMCA Dads and daughter group called Y-Guides. We make up a tribe. We need an outing and I was thinking that an afternoon of geocaching would be fun for the girls. I have found the map section on this site and see that there are several caches at a local lake park called Lake Wheeler NC. How do I get info ...coords...or hints so we can try to find them. We dont have an entire day to look for these just a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. The girls are only on the second grade and I feel that there attention will start to fade if we don't find them quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Phil

Assuming Lake Wheeler park, southwest of Raleigh link to Geocaching.com map

It looks like there are a couple of caches that would be suitable for children.

You can visit the cache pages and print them. The print option is in the pane below the cache coords. I'm assuming you have some kind of gps device to load coordinates? you can hand load those, or if you know how, download the LOC file to load directly to your device.

There are other caches, but the higher difficulty and terrain ratings make them less suitable for children.

Thanks !!!!

. The links you sent were perfect . I was surprised how quickly you got that info...so I went to the map you link sent and touched the cache icon and the info just popped up. I didn't realize I could have done that from the beginning. I do have a gps. I will get the coords in there ...somehow. Thanks again!!!
