This week’s geocache of the week, Operation: Geocacher, is highlighting a caching twist of the beloved classic board game that bears the same name. Hidden with permission at a plant nursery in the Evergreen State of Washington, GCWWCY offers a refreshing environment with gorgeous colors and floral scents. This week is #geogeekweek, so we had to nerd out over this and give some recognition to an extraordinary gadget cache!

The rules are simple, but success only comes with a steady hand, so take a deep breath. Not to worry, you can play the game as many times as you need to open the cache. This geocaches requires a lot of concentration and team of supportive friends cheering you on can’t hurt! Step one: sanitize your hands and insert the batteries. Then insert the TOTTs (Tools of the Trade) in the correct place and use the provided tweezers to remove the pieces without touching the sides. The elements of this cache are items that a seasoned geocacher is familiar with, including a GPS and a Travel Bug.

Along with a positive attitude, a mask, and a navigation device, be sure not to forget to pack two AA batteries. These will power the gadget and help you log that smiley! Given the location of this cache, evading muggles may be difficult. If stealth isn’t an option, there is always the opportunity to do some socially-distanced education about the wonderful game of geocaching!
