OUR FIRST REAL GEOCAHHING ACTIVITY







Young fans of the “Treasures of the Mountains Project” did the first real geocaching activity in the mountains.
After getting the necessary theoretical knowledge about geocaching and the use of GPS device, we carried out our first hiding a cache activity on 6th April. We arranged a visit to our plantation area in the mountains just behind our school. The nature club members were also with us and we located a hidden container under a pile of rocks. We also planted young trees in the memory of our project. The moment when we found the cache located by our teachers was great fun. We felt that we found a real treasure. When we were back at school we uploaded the coordinates in the official geocahing site and now anybody can try to find it. On 24th April we are going to Cappadocia to locate our second container. There are also some caches hidden by other geocachers in the area and we will try to find one of them as well as hiding our second cache.
