Cache-In Trash-Out Geocaching Event at DeLorme HQ!

It’s time to wake up the bears!

On Saturday, April 19th, join geocachers from around the state and New England at DeLorme HQ in Yarmouth, Maine, as part of the International Cache-In Trash-Out Environmental Initiative (CITO). We are planning a day of fun, food, prizes, and geocaching. DeLorme is the sole sponsor of this year’s CITO initiative, which takes place around the world in recognition of Earth Day.

Cache In Trash Out

For those who don’t know, geocaching is a sort of hide and seek game using handheld GPS receivers, like the Earthmate GPS PN-20, to locate a cache hidden by a fellow geocacher. Sometimes caches contain knick-knacks or a trackable item designed to move from cache to cache. Each cache contains a log book, as well as an online log on the geocaching.com website. There are a couple of  caches here on DeLorme property, including one maintained by Team DeLorme called Bears in the Bushes. Eartha itself is a virtual cache.

Geocaching is great fun for families with kids of all ages. Come join us and bring the family for some great outdoor fun. Feel free to stop by just to visit or stay for the day. Team DeLorme members and bloggers Chip Noble and Brian Danz will be on hand from 10am until 4pm.

Event information

See you on the 19th!
