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 on Saturday February 22nd
10:30am to 1:30pm
St. Helens Public Library
375 South 18th St
St. Helens, OR 97051
(503) 397-4544
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:
A Brief History of Geocaching
Explanation of cache types and a few useful terms
Introduction to GPS and satellite technology
The cache page at geocaching.com
The beginner's geocaching course
geocaching.com 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.
