Husky Women's Water Polo Geo Caching Course at Titlow Park, Tacoma



A good time was had by 12 members of the team when they participated in a four hour geo caching activity between water polo games at the Curtis pool.

The first phase of the course was made up of 5 caches throughout the park and contained money and cards for playing a round of poker at the end.


The second phase of the course consisted of 5 more caches and these contained: cards, money, keys and clues to a waypoint for a secret 11th cache. The 11th cache cantained the final key to unlock the box which contained all the prizes for each team.
Communicating via radios the four teams of three managed to piece together the clues, program the final waypoint, and find the final cache that contained the key to victory. None of the 12 players had every used a GPS before.

The day was one of the coldest of the winter to date, with frozen over ponds and little streams, but by time we finished most shoes were muddy. The views were incredible but the water was full of white caps from the cold north wind.

NOW GO DAWGS!!!

Oh yes before I forget I wanted to share our comander and chief's weekend checklist with you.
