Following the Technology

Following the arrow.

Our middle and high school students tried their hands at geocaching on our visit to the Audubon Center at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.

They got their GPS units and instructions on how to use them: basically just choose the right waypoint and follow the arrow. They were told that they wouldn’t need to walk through the prairie.

But the arrow pointed toward the prairie.

(These guys were actually on a trail). The Mississippi River is in the background.

The results were scratched legs and quite a number of boarders.

Seedpod boarders.

Afterwards, our guide pointed out that they could have found all the caches by using the paths.
