Suggested Cache Offerings

It's a celebration...like Christmas!  Get into the 'giving' spirit.

One of the important aspects of a GPS treasure hunt is finding the cache and retrieving a prize.  Remember that you take one prize and replace it with another.  There should always be five prizes in the cache.  Imagine if your choice of a prize takes some time to make a decision.

We recommend that you visit your favourite retailer and think about the kind of treasure you would like to find.  Prizes have to small to fit into the caches, usually large white plastic buckets with lids.

Never leave any food, candy or scented material.  Pens, pins, key chains, mugs, items received at other meetings should be left at home in that box or drawer.

Here is a suggested list of favourites; they all cost a few dollars.  Most prizes have a purpose and are connected with activities associated with the 'great outdoors.'  When you send in your GPS treasure hunt report create additional suggestions for us.  We will update our list as we go.
