Glenn’s Geocaches!

Initial contents of cache located at CSULB

It’s Game Design II > Location Based Gaming > Alternate Reality Gaming > Geocaching this week in Summer Art110! I’ve placed a couple of caches, one on the CSULB Campus and one at the Newport Aquatic Center. If you’re on the CSULB campus, or in the Newport Beach vicinity, come visit! You can grab a mobile app for your phone at Geocaching.com and check them out:

The cache at both locations is in a Magnetic Altoids Tin. The NAC Coordinates should take you right to the spot. At CSULB the GPS signal was a little weaker at the exact point, so these coordinates should take you to a point 20 feet away from the cache. Both shouldn’t be too hard to find, and if you scroll all the way down to “hints” it should be very easy. But maybe too easy. Up to you! 😀
