Objective:
Search for a hide* that requires darkness to be found.
Details:
Have you ever found a “night cache” (geocaching) or “night box” (letterboxing) before? They are hides that are designed to be found at night! Often times they utilize flashlights, reflective surfaces or UV lights to facilitate a grand adventure in the dark.
1) Like most find objectives, you can choose to search for either a geocache or a letterbox. If you’re unfamiliar with the nigh-time versions of these hobbies, you can read about night caches here. (If anyone knows of a resource that discusses night boxing, please let us know so we can include it here!)
2) Identify a hide you’d like to search for. We know that this type of hide can be few and far between, which is why we made it worth 300 points!
3) Grab a buddy and let others know where and when you’ll be searching. Darkness adds extra need for safety precautions, so please don’t go it alone and make sure others know where you’ll be!
4) Make the find!
5) Document your adventure with a photograph and post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts. Alternatively, you can also share your hide in our Facebook Group.
6) Tell us about your adventure in the comments below! What geocache/letterbox did you find? (Provide GC/AQ number if relevant.) Did anything interesting happen while you were searching?
*A "find/hide" can be either a geocache or letterbox. Not familiar with either? Watch this video by Groundspeak, the #1 lister of geocaches or read about letterboxing from Atlas Quest.
