In recognition of the 2008 Opening Day At Lake Tahoe, there will be
a celebration held on June 28th and 29th, 2008 in South Lake Tahoe.
This 2-day event will identify unique locations on the South Shore
of Lake Tahoe that will highlight the best that the area has to
offer. From the waterfront to the mountain trails, you’ll leave no
stone unturned for this one-of-a-kind event located in a
world-class destination. This open event is geared toward anyone
who wishes to learn more about GPS units and geocaching as an
activity, and for experienced geocachers.
At each location there will be a number of stickers in the cache
container (most are decon containers). Take one sticker and place
the sticker on your Stamp Card in the square for that cache. If
there are no more stickers, record the code words that are inside
the lid of the container on the stamp card. Once you have finished
your search, return to the starting point with your Stamp Card
indicating which locations you visited. You will receive one raffle
ticket for each location marked as visited or found on your Stamp
Card.
We are only allowing for one Stamp Card per group/team/family
this year to make it easier for the individual cachers to win
prizes during the raffle.
FTF prizes are small blue LTVA flashlights included in the
container. DON"T UNWRAP THEM BEFORE CLAIMING YOUR FTF PRIZE AT THE
EMBASSY SUITES. THE WRAPPER HAS THE CACHE NUMBER ON IT THAT
CORRESPOND TO THE PRIZES.
