Geo-Cache Quest: How to Play

Geo‐Cache Quest
Dunbarton Public Library
Summer 2011

How to Play:
Each week, the coordinates to one of the six caches will be released. This will generally happen on Saturday, with the coordinates posted to the Library website, Facebook page, and at the Library. If you would like the coordinates sent to you by email, please let us know.
1. Use the “parking” coordinates to get to the general area. Please observe any signs regarding parking in the area, and be sure your vehicle is not blocking the road or any driveways.
2. Enter the “cache” coordinates in your GPS unit and click on “go to” (or the equivalent). Follow the heading given on your GPS unit and watch the distance scroll down. When you are within a few feet, you may want to start looking for the cache.
3. When you find the container, note where it was. Open the lid to get the secret code and to sign the log. If you take any of the swag, please leave something for the next person.
4. Return the container to its hiding spot.
5. Bring the code to the Dunbarton Public Library to get a stamp in your passport.

Notes:
Keep in mind that the accuracy of your GPS unit is subject to interference from weather, tall trees and buildings, power lines, and even your own body.
Be prepared for anything! Bring along sunscreen, bug spray, bottled water and extra batteries. Bring a pen or pencil and paper to jot down the secret code.
Be respectful of others and the environment. Leave the area as you found it. No digging is required to find the caches, but they may be under rocks or leaves.
Watch out for Muggles! If you spot others looking for the cache, ask if you can join them or if you should wait at the parking area until they are finished.
Have Fun!
