SEEK & STAMP
SEEK & STAMP can be done like Geocaching (Geocaching is treasure hunting that uses Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled devices and a specific set of GPS coordinates to seek hidden containers called “geocaches” hidden all over the world.) or like Letterboxing (In Letterboxing small boxes that contain a logbook and rubber stamp are hidden in publicly accessible places (like parks) and are found with clues from web sites, or by word of mouth.
SEEK & STAMP Cards and instruction sheets with both the clues and GPS Coordinates will be handed out at all of the Ann Charles/ Sam Lucky events Monday – Wednesday.
You will use the clues or GPS Coordinates to find the six film canisters hidden around the Deadwood/ Lead area. Each film canister will have a small stamp in it. You will stamp your SEEK & STAMP card with a stamp from each of the locations.
SEEK & STAMP cards can be turned in at any of the Ann & Sam events Monday – Wednesday. The cards must be turned in no later than 1 pm Thursday at the Lotus Up Espresso and Deli Meet & Greet event to receive a prize.
