Geocachers Exploring
Oregon
|
| 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 GEO for Geocaching 101.
We'll meet:
1:00pm - 4:00pm
at:
Tualatin Library
18880 SW Martinazzi Ave
Tualatin, OR 97062
(503) 692-2000
We'll spend some time indoors going over
the basics and then get out on the library grounds to test your
newly acquired skills.
All are welcome. We hope to have plenty of
beginners looking to learn more. But we also hope to have some
experienced cachers willing to team up with some new folks to help
them around the beginner's course we're setting up at the library.
We'd also appreciate some experienced cachers bringing GPS units
that new folks can borrow out on the course if they don't have one
of their own.
| Our agenda is: |
| Brief history of geocaching |
| Explanation of cache types and a few usefule terms |
| Introduction to GPS and satellite technology |
| The cache page at geocaching.com |
| The beginner's geocaching course |
| Geocaching account and logging your caches |
Bring your GPS units. And if you have one,
bring your laptop; we'll have wireless at the library. It might
also help if folks can bring some extension cords and power
strips.
Regular cachers: Spread the work amongst
your friends, family, and coworkers. Let us do the work of creating
new caching friends for you.
Hope to see you there.
