Consulting the GPS to get our current coordinates
Students in the Fall Geographic Information Science (GIS) class gave geocaching a try on a cold day in November. Like a high-tech treasure hunt, the goal is to use GPS and clues to navigate to a “cache” created by someone else. The cache contains a log of other geocachers who discovered it and maybe a trinket left as a prize. Want to play along too? Grab your GPS and check out http://www.geocaching.com/.
Steep slopes and brambles are no match for these GIS students
Crossing Seven Mile Creek in search of treasure
Setting out in search of adventure (and, yes, they found plenty!)
What a fun day – we should have a GEG-340 reunion in Seven Mile Creek soon! Thanks for the post, Anna.
