WCC Campus Plant Geocaching Instructions

Use a GPS device to go on a self-guided adventure in finding one or all of these plant Gouaches located on Windward Community College campus. It should take 2 hours to locate all the Geocaches. Please note that there are no cache containers at the coordinates. This is a fact-finding adventure only. The coordinates will get you within 10 feet of the landmark. At the landmark you will find clues to help you find the next plant. At the finish you can sign the log book. Thanks for participating!
