A Geocaching
Adventure
Have GPS Will Travel

Havana Hav-A-Vision River Committee
Welcome To The Race
• The Amazing GPS Race will test your navigation and
problem-solving skills.
• Each team will need to visit 7 caches and complete
the tasks required to receive their clues. (The first
cache does not have a task – you just have to find it!)
• The clues will provide the waypoints for the caches as
well as bits of information that might be helpful.
Remember the waypoints may not be perfect, so use
the clues provided to help you find the cache
locations.

Read your clues carefully and follow the directions
to complete each task.
Observe speed limits and other traffic laws.
Safety first! Caches have been placed in areas that
should be easy to access. Keep your eyes open for
poison ivy, ticks, & other hazards.
Play fair! Teams are not allowed to sabotage other
teams by moving caches, stealing clues, etc.

Teams are not allowed to ask volunteers for help or
hints.
All cache hint envelopes, the seven clues, and any
items that you are required to find must be turned in
at the last cache in order for the clock to “stop”. A
15-minute penalty for each lost hint used and clues
or items not turned in will be added to your final
time.
Participation in the event is voluntary and all
participants assume their own risks.
