Get exercise, try
something new,
and have fun at the same time!
NEW!!! We have an additional indoor
treasure-hunting option that does not require a GPS. If the weather is
brisk, do like Minnesotans and take to the world-famous skyway system. You
can view beautiful historic buildings and the bustle of downtown from the
comfort of the largest skyway system in the world. Now you can sign up for
the outdoor geocaching event AND/OR do the indoor treasure hunt. The event
will conclude Saturday before the FUNdraiser when all participants are
invited to receive awards and enjoy the view from the 27th floor of a
nearby skyscraper.
The University of Minnesota School
of Nursing is coordinating a Geocaching event to benefit the MNRS
Foundation. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout
the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices.
Local planning committee members
Madeleine Kerr, Cathy Morrison, and Scott Harpin are organizing a team of
geocaching guides with their GPS devices to share the sport with you.
NEW!!! Feel free to bring your own
car GPS or smartphone/iPhone to explore the geocaching possibilities with
one of our guides.
Sign up for one of the geocaching
sessions on-site at the MNRS Registration Desk. The registration fee to
participate is $25. You can sign up for Friday, March 27th 5:30pm to
6:30pm, or Saturday, March 28th 5:30pm to 6:30pm. You will also need to
register for a free account at www.geocaching.com.
In addition to traditional caches
in Minneapolis, we will offer some MNRS-specific event caches. You and your
fellow seekers will find prizes to be proudly displayed at the Saturday
evening gala FUNdraiser.
Join in the fun and help build the
MNRS Foundation capacity to fund even more researchers!
