Yes, you'd want to make people have to find the AP itself and prove that 
they did.  There's a number of ways you could do this.  Traditionally, 
devices such as orienteering punches are used for this task, but you could 
do something simpler, such as have a sticker on the AP with a secret word 
or phrase on it, and everyone in the event has to record the phrase on a 
sheet of paper or card.

It's actually rather similar to what we call "Fox-Oring", except for the 
fact that we'd be driving between APs, rather than walking or running.
