Field Team 4- Toni, Danika, Dana, and Jenny

Our adventure with geocatching began with trying to figure out which direction we were to start heading. We started walking away from the Engineering fountain to get an idea of whether we were heading in the right direction.
This helped us determine which direction the salmon line was pointing us. We thought it led us to the shrub area outside Hovde Hall, so we first searched that area. We thought we found the clue, on top of a bush, but it was just trash. So, we started heading in another direction. (Little did we know that our real clue was very close by!)
We spend the beginning of this activity just trying to figure out the technology and what direction it was pointing us. We knew the general area, but had a hard time pinning it down exactly. We wandered over to the other side of the construction fence where the new Roger B Gatewood wing of ME is being built. We stopped outside of the Engineering Administration building and again were trying to determine the direction. We decided that we would just turn the gps in each direction (slowly, as it takes time to readjust) until the line salmon line matched the green line. We thought if we could find the gps coordinates, Brooke could enter them in her I Phone to try to find the coordinates of our current location, but this did not work.

So, we wandered back to where we started and ended up looking in the same area outside Hovde because we realized that was where the gps was pointing us. Brooke, thankfully, finally found it under the brush/ground cover near the trash we had found earlier. Our clue was "This building will be the 1st on campus certified with this designation." The answer was LEED, the building is called Roger B Gatewood Wing of ME.
Overall, we found the activity fun, although it definitely revealed the complications you can have with depending on technology.
