New Mexico Department of Transportation has initiated a “Summer Roadtrip GeoCache” adventure using the new mobile travel app now available for free download at NMRoads.com.
GeoCaching is akin to a scavenger hunt with the added element of using GPS technology with Lat and Lon measurements. Like a scavenger, a hint is also included in the clue to find each treasure. In this case, each treasure is finding a specific location of cultural interest or significance to New Mexico. Approximately 40 + locations have been selected throughout the state. Each of the 40+ locations will be identified as a “Special Event” in the NMRoads app as well as the website. You will need to download a separate GeoCache app or use a GPS device that will provide you directions to each of the special events lat and lon coordinates.
This contest is completely voluntary and contestants take full responsibility for their actions during participation. The NMDOT takes no responsibility for any harm or damages occurring to contestants or their property as a direct result of their participation.
To be eligible for the grand prize drawing, contestants need to find four (4) of the geo-cache locations that will need to be photo-documented and submitted along with feedback on the new app. The grand prize winner will be selected at El Pinto Restaurant in early August 2012. All entrants will receive a gift for participating.
Grand Prize Package includes:
- Hot air balloon ride for two courtesy of Rainbow Ryders
- Two night stay at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa
- $50 gift card for El Pinto Restaurant
- $100 gift certificate to Baillio’s courtesy of NM ITS Chapter
