Geocaching Events: (The event code is a link)
GC64P27 Roseville Winter M&G 2015 (End of the World +3) 
Date: 12/22/15 
If you want to sit down with some geocachers and talk geocaching, go to this event. Not only do events count as finds, but there will be trackables there as well! 

GC64P2B HNY16 - 7th Annual New Years Day M&G
Date: 1/1/16
This is a bigger event. It is a sit down at a banquet hall. After filling up there will be HNY16 caches hidden around the area. Try to see if you can get a FTF (First to Find)!

Trackables- A Trackable is a sort of physical geocaching "game piece." You will often find them in geocaches or see them at geocaching gatherings. Each Trackable is etched with a unique code that can be used to log its movements on Geocaching.com as it travels in the real world. Some of these items have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles thanks to geocachers who move them from cache to cache!

FTF- An honor among geocachers. It symbolizes great skills in the geocaching world.
