Geocache Description:

Geocaching 101: An introduction to the world of Geocaching.

The 2012 Calgary Cache and Release Organizing Committee

invite you to

Geocaching 101


Are you new to geocaching? Or have you been caching for a little while, but want to pick up some additional tips? Maybe you're an experienced geocacher who is willing to share your knowledge and team up with some beginners to lend a hand? Join us for Geocaching 101.

DATE: Saturday February 25, 2012
TIME: 2:00pm - 4:00pm
LOCATION: CNIB - 15 Colonel Baker Pl NE
(at the posted coordinates above)

We'll spend some time indoors going over the basics and then get out to test your newly acquired skills.

What we'll talk about:
1. A Brief History of Geocaching
2. Explain the cache types, containers and a few useful terms
3. Introduction to GPS and satellite technology
4. The cache page at geocaching.com
5. Geocaching.com and logging your caches

All are welcome. We hope to have plenty of beginners looking to learn more, but we will also have some experienced cachers willing to team up with some new folks to help them around the beginner's course. We'd also appreciate some experienced cachers bringing GPS units so that new folks can borrow if they don't have one of their own.

The event is kid friendly - geocaching is an activity for the whole family.

Spread the word amongst your friends, family, and coworkers.

Come out and meet other geocachers - and you get a smiley to log on geocaching.com just for attending!

Hope to see you there.
