Trolls under bridges, star-crossed lovers, shadowy trails and GPS locations were all part of the Geocache scavenger hunt leading up to TechFest. Participants used clues to locate three hidden boxes containing a log book and tokens. The chips were turned in for a jumpdrive prize and the chance to win a digital camera. Photo by Jeanette Smith

Searching for the caches was a great opportunity to get a nice walk around campus and practice using a GPS. With a little help from each other this group was able to track down the hidden loot. Photo by Jeanette Smith
