New to Geocaching?

Geocaching is a fun outdoor activity that involves using a GPS device or smartphone to find hidden containers, called geocaches, that are hidden in various locations around the world. To get started with geocaching, follow these steps:

Go to mightypeace.com/activities/60-years-of-tourism/ to choose some of the geocaches hidden through the Mighty Peace Region.
Use a GPS device or download a GPS app for your smartphone to navigate to the cache. There are different free and paid aps to choose from. You can use a tool like google maps (iOS / Play ) or you can find a GPS and mapping app. Some are more accurate than others. Please note: you may find and use a Geocaching app for the purpose of mapping coordinates, but note that our Geocache locations will not all be listed in these tools.
Add the coordinates into your mapping tool to get you close to the cache. See if you can find the cache’s in it's hiding place. Can't find the cache? Check the cache list for a hint. Please note: you may need to look up, behind, or under, but you should NEVER need to dig or destroy property to find a cache.
Once you find the cache, sign the logbook, scan the QR code to enter the regular draws, and put everything back exactly like you found it. Please don't try to make it easier or harder for the next person to find.
Follow the most basic rule of geocaching: Leave No Trace during your hunt.
