  2. Each member of your group must signup for the same geocache. The signup is here: https://eee.uci.edu/signupsheet/C394p8RXJ8. Look up the geocache to make sure it's a good fit for you before you sign-up. If there aren't enough slots for your whole group, then you must pick a different geo-cache.
  3. Using a GPS device, including a smartphone, find your geo-cache. Make sure you bring a pen and optionally a trinket to trade out in the geocache.
