Mission Viejo launches first SoCal GeoTour – ‘Discover Mission Viejo’
On Saturday, June 10, the City and community volunteers will host a geocaching kick-off event to launch the first Southern California GeoTour. The kick-off event will take place during a portion of the City’s Farmers Market located at the North Paseo, 25282 Marguerite Parkway from 9:30-11 am.
Come learn how to geocache and be the first group to discover up to 27 new geocaches throughout Mission Viejo. If you find at least 24 of the GeoTour caches and collect their code words, you may submit your completed geocache passport to receive a souvenir trackable GeoCoin while supplies last. The GeoTour will be available after the kick-off event for anyone who is unable to attend.
What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is a 21st century treasure hunting game played all over the world. The goal is to find physical containers - called geocaches - using the free geocaching app. When you find a geocache, you sign your name on the logbook and write about your experience online. Geocaches come in all shapes and sizes. They can range from nanos (smaller than a dime) to ammo cans and 5-gallon buckets. The larger the container, the more swag and trinkets you’ll find!
Rules & Guidelines:
Always place the geocache in the exact spot you found it. Never remove or hide the geocache in a different location. If you take a trinket from the geocache, you must leave something of equal or greater value behind. Do not keep any trackable item that says “Trackable at Geocaching.com.†Instead, move trackables from cache to cache.
