Dash for Cache - Ocala - Post 1

Dash for Cache
Ocala National Forest
Aug 15-16th
7pm – 7am

Explore the Ocala National Forest in a Rogaine-style Night Adventure.

This is an informal event for individuals or teams where participants search for geo-caches and earn points based on the terrain & difficulty.

The participants with the most points that have returned by the 7am deadline will be declared the winners.

There is a strict 12-hour time limit. All participants not checked into the main camping site by 7am finish deadline will be not be counted for overall rankings.

On August 8th I will post a list of the caches that are eligible and the starting point. Ocala is a large area so be prepared to spend some time planning each cache that you will attempt to find.

My contact info is Kier O'Neil at: kieroneil@yahoo.com or 904-233-2605. Please put “Dash for Cache” in the subject line. All those that send me an email will get a spreadsheet of the caches to be used during the event.

This is a Free event organized for the pleasure of getting out into nature. The winner will get an authentic set of Geo-Caching dogtags (aka travel bugs ;-).

GPS
Headlamp
Digital Camera (we request that you take a photo of each cache for verification)
