+kunarion Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) If you can't get a cache activated in time, you may instead place a variety of temporary caches. For a Geocaching class, it's nice to have several "caches" close to the class, caches under your direct control. While an actual Geocache requires much effort to make it viable, a temporary cache can be placed without worry of its longevity, it's just placed as an example, and only for the duration of the class. Students may load a “compass” app or a “GPS app” and hunt temporary caches without first needing to sign up for an account on Geocaching.com. Phones may even have Google Maps or something else that would do, just to try to find a cache. A handheld GPS allows manual coordinate entry. Have a printed handout with coordinates and information. You might bring a handheld GPS or two available, even phones, with coordinates already typed in. Edited October 28, 2018 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+TriciaG Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This is a worldwide forum. You might want to find a local geocaching group and ask your question to them. If you're in Washington (as per your old cache finds), try here: https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/forum/21-northwest/ or look for a local Geocaching group on Facebook.
