A Family Friendly Meet and Greet Opportunity

Please note the event schedule and locations:

The coordinates given above are for the Waukesha Frame Park ROTARY Building NEW LOCATION. We have our own building this year!

10:00-11:00 AM GEOCACHING 101 PRESENTATION
Geocaching, a global game of treasure hunting using longitude and latitude coordinates, is a fun filled adventure for all ages. With a GPS receiver, and internet access, you are ready to explore and search for a “geocache”. This presentation will focus on the BASICS needed to get started in participating in this eco-friendly sport including suggested equipment, the website, how to search for a cache and types of caches.
If we have any experienced geocachers interested in walking with a newbie along the Fox River outside this location to find a few geocaches, it is appreciated!

Our event sponsors like to see photos of geocachers participating in this event .. please post ONLY event related photos to this page please!!
WEATHER CANCEL? Are we geocachers or what? Will we cancel for snow? This event will be held snow or no snow, extreme cold or sun. The first year this event was held we experienced a major snowstorm the morning of. It just adds to the fun!
I must express a HUGE Thank you to the following local geocachers who wanted to see this event continue and are working behind the scenes hiding a series of new caches in Waukesha in time for this event.
