Get out and get caching for this year’s International GIS Day! To celebrate all things mapping and how Geographic Information Systems keep Golden’s Public Works operating at peak efficiency, the GIS division is hiding ten Golden Tickets in ten geocaches around the city on November 14. You can find these hiding spots with a few coordinates, or your phone, and just a little bit of mapping know how.
This event is free and open to everyone. Participants will need to register with an email to Geocaching.com to see available caches (tickets will not be hidden in caches that require a premium subscription). Geocaching.com provides coordinates if you’d like to use your GPS, or the maps can easily be used with your phone. Keep in mind the caches will only be in Golden public parks, and tickets will stay hidden until they are found. Find a cache that doesn’t have a ticket? Don’t forget to log your visit on the log book in each cache!
