I am excited to teach the commonly used Windows-Based Geocaching Software, hereafter called WBGS on January 19 at the Ojai Village Mobile Home Estate Clubhouse. This will be a "Beyond Basic Class" for those who want to do more than "scratch the surface". This course will start precisely at 6:45 p.m. so you will have ample time to socialize beforehand.

I have heard many people say, "I have used WGBS for years, but am only scratching the surface." If this sounds like you, the Beyond Basics Course is for you.
