EVENT UPDATED 9-19-07
If you have been Geocaching for a while, you know there are a
lot of computer programs and electronic gadgets that are being used
by the pros in this sport. Here is your chance to make some sense
of them, and get recommendations on what to consider. If you are
already using them, this is a chance to see what others are doing,
and to pick up tips they have to offer. Come and learn more about
the GSAK software and Paperless in this workshop geared towards
Adults & Teens. As this will be an interactive workshop, with
lecture and discussion, bring your toys!
