I saw a notice on the Geocaching home page about a program called “Snag the Tag“, so I investigated. On the home page was a link to purchase the “Hider Kit”. There was originally two types available, a large and a small. Since the large was sold out I grabbed a small right away, which was good since they sold out shortly afterwards. This project seems to be in a limited state so far, with maybe 600 (??) tags hidden on this “Mission Mammoth” project. Unlike geocaches these are one time hide/find. The owner hides the tag, some one finds it, takes it to claim online, and it is done. No logs to sign.
Shorty thereafter I received my tags and started to see how to do this. Not so hard.
- Think of a location to hide the tag.
- Put the tag in a container.
- Hide the tag
- Take some good GPS readings at the location.
- Go to the website and put the information into the form provided.
To help they have some FAQ’s:
