Caching After Class
Here are some upcoming events!
Caching After Class
We'll be hosting weekly "Caching After Class" events that will be short 1 hour sessions where you can learn how to geocache while giving it a try. No boring lectures, just grab a GPS and go learn by doing! We'll find some geocaches on campus for about an hour and you're free to leave or continue at any point in time.
Everyone is welcome. There is no commitment to join the club or come to any other events, we just want anyone who is interested in trying this hobby, to join us for a fun hour of finding some geocaches.
You do not need to own a GPS unit because we have enough to share!

TrailMix 21 - Yellowwood Scarce O Fat Trail
Saturday, April 9th at 10am
http://coord.info/GC2PBE2
More than 30-40 geocachers from around the state will be gathering for this event. There are more than 29 caches hidden along this 4 mile trail. The trail is rated about a 3 star terrain and is a loop, so it will start and finish near the parking lot. Towards the end, the trail will bring you to High King Hill, where you can see the entire lake and miles and miles of the forest. It's a great view. Trailmix events are designed for people of ANY hiking experience, so you don't have to be "athletic" to do this trail!
Come meet some geocachers and enjoy this lovely hike!
We'll be meeting on campus at 9:30am to carpool over to Yellowwood State Forest, which is 7 miles east of Bloomington.
Please RSVP at https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFZrU2lCTlp6eVdyQXVSWEpKb3owZ0E6MQ so that
Bucket of Fun!
Friday, April 22nd
Time to be announced!
The cache information is available here: http://coord.info/GC1WE76
This afternoon, we'll be taking a group of us to find Bucket Of Fun, an epic adventure geocache on campus. We'll start the hunt near the Education Building and it will take approximately 4-5 hours to complete as it is a 5 stage geocache with our team. This is one of the most fun and epic geocaches within 30 miles of here, so it's definitely worth coming. Make sure to wear clothes and shoes that can get a little dirty!
Nightcaching Event
Saturday, April 30th
Time to be announced!
Come and celebrate the end of the year and blow off some steam before finals! We're going to take a group to the B-Line Trail in downtown Bloomington where we'll spend 1-3 hours finding geocaches in the dark. Bring a flashlight or team up with someone else that has one!
GPS Units available at the Library!
If you haven't heard, there are 6 GPS units available for students to check-out using your student IDs within the Wells Library. You must go to the circulation desk on the second floor of the East Tower. This can be accessed through the elevator on the east side, or through the escalator that's in the lobby. You can check out the GPS units for 4 days.
