Cache Mapping

Geocaching is similar to a big scavenger/treasure hunt using coordinates and clues.

Make your own version of a ‘geo’ cache by hiding a container with a nature item inside (from the ground) and creating a map for seekers to find your cache. Using key landscape features on your map you are aiming to help the seeker to find the location of the cache, but for the cache to be hidden well in that location (like a game of hide and seek).

Challenge: Use your knowledge of camouflage to help hide your cache.

NOTE: You want the seeker to find your cache with some challenge.
