LAUREN:
Lauren Lambert, leader of the club called the "Trackers," has an inquisitive nature and loves to explore. Lauren finds adventure wherever she goes. She gets around in a motorized wheelchair she calls "Clipper," after a type of fastmoving, sailing ship. She earned the nickname, "Laptop Lauren" because she's really good at using her laptop computer, especially to find information.

ETHAN:
Ethan Coble, Ally's twin brother, has a knack for facts and the hard truth. He dreams of becoming a journalist or newspaper reporter and is often seen jotting down ideas for stories. His talent for writing makes him a natural recorder of information.

NIKI:
Niki Harris is Lauren's and Zack's au pair, or live-in sitter, and also a college student who majors in history. Niki often joins the Trackers during their various Quests; this year she leads them on a geocaching adventure to solve several local history mysteries.

ZACK:
Zack Lambert is Lauren's brother and the youngest member of the Trackers, and he loves adventure. Zack is usually bursting with energy and enthusiasm, and his outgoing personality allows him to make new friends with ease. He is adept at solving puzzles and cracking codes.

ALLY:
Ally Coble, an artist whose creative side is often expressed through photography, enjoys her role of documenting the Trackers' Quests with pictures. In this Quest, Ally takes photos of not only the historic sites the Trackers explore, but also of items they discover as they play the geocaching game.

 

HALF-MOON HIDEAWAY:

The Trackers' clubhouse is an attic room in the Lamberts' home in Ponce Inlet. The club members furnished it with all kinds of sleuthing tools such as maps, a TV, and books and newspapers for doing research. Half-Moon Hideaway is a perfect place for the Trackers to plan their adventures and discuss their findings.
