Introduction to Geocaching

Time: 11:00 am til 2:00 pm

Location: E. O. Wilson Biophilia Center, 4956 State Hwy 20 East Freeport, Florida 32439

Description: Are you ready to get outside and explore Northwest Florida’s archaeology and history? Forget your fedoras and bullwhips; pick up a GPS device and go geocaching! Geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called caches, using GPS devices and share their experiences online. FPAN recently created a series of geocaches hidden at historic and archaeological sites across northwest Florida to increase awareness that these places are out there and they are open for you to visit.

This presentation describes how geocaching works, what you need to play, and a unique geocaching adventure created by FPAN that will take you back in time through northwest Florida’s history and archaeology. Afterwards we will lead participants outdoors and try to find one. Program start times are 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
