GCSHA2017 - The 'Official' SHA2017 unofficial GeoCache
Welcome to the SHA2017 geocache. A geocache with a techie twist. Instead of looking for physical objects, you will be looking for the SSIDs of bluetooth beacons hidden on the SHA2017 campground
Your mission
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, it to find 15 hidden bluetooth modules. Each of these bluetooth modules will give you a letter and it's relative position to the previous letter. Those 15 will form a sentense that will allow you to have some fun at the end coordinates of the geocache trail.
