Search and Rescue use caches as an exercise!

[poikää & butterfly]

Butterfly and I are so enthusiastic about geocaching we often expound to friends about the fun. Last fall I gave the web page for geocaching to my friend who is also a Marquette County Sheriff deputy and a Search and Rescue member. He used the various caches in my area as an exercise for his group. He sent teams in to locate them and they left items and logged in. He has yet to log the finds on the several pages. He said the caches were a great learning lesson on how to use a GPSr and to team up to find the goal!

WOW! :

Now if he does the real rescue, ask him several questions. That is if the rescue is treated like a Cache:

1. Who does he leave for a trade, a SAR member.

2. Would the rescue be complete if he TNLN

 

Really this would be a good exercise in finding someone.

If you want to have some fun with him send him looking for a cache but change the datum and not tell him until he can't find it.

Do they rock , scissors, paper to see who gets put in the cache! I am on the floor laughing so hard!

I have been working on that same idea here.Today I contacted the Person in charge of the data base for Fire and Rescue mapping in our area and am suppose to start the mapping as soon as the program gets to me.I look foward to the task and will keep us updated on it's progress.
