Come join us for this presentation: Geocaching, a global game of treasure hunting using longitude and latitude coordinates, is a fun filled adventure for all ages. With your smart phone or a GPS receiver, and internet access, you are ready to explore and search for a “geocache.” This presentation will focus on the basics needed to get started in participating in this eco-friendly family friendly sport including suggested equipment, the website, how to search for a cache, and types of caches. Learn how you, your family, and even friends, can explore the parks in a new way.
12:00 noon-2:00 PM Lunch at Mia's Pizza - food purchase is NOT required but it is "buy your own food and drink". (Mia's has a new owner, same yummy food! A limited menu will be available.)
The courtesy of your "will attend" log is greatly appreciated! Please indicate, for our planning purposes, if you are planning to stop by in the morning and/ or joining us at Mia's Restaurant.
