BREAKFAST MEETING
Friday, December 12, 2008 Geocaching Many often ask, What is geocaching? In a nutshell, it is a high-tech treasure hunt using GPS receivers. Players, aptly called geocachers, have hidden hundreds of thousands of caches all over the world. Basically, the game plays as follows. You go to www.geocaching.com and conduct a search of the area you wish to hunt. Once armed with the description and coordinates of the hidden cache, you begin your quest. After locating the geocache, you log your visit into the cache logbook and then return home to share your experiences online. Sounds easy, right? It is! The game can be as difficult or as simple as you want, since you decide which geocaches you wish to seek. What's great; the game is not age specific. Both young and old will enjoy the hunt. This is a great opportunity to connect with children while keeping their attention and interest. Plus, it's fun and requires little to get started. If you are looking for a way to bring your family together in the great outdoors, plan to attend this informative and entertaining program and you will be geocaching in no time! It is important you make reservations if you intend to eat breakfast. Email Mary Lou Moran or call at 226-5007 by noon the Wednesday prior to the meeting. Please have the correct change for breakfast. It is no longer necessary to leave a tip for the wait staff. Good Sam's policy does not permit them to accept tips. Please remember to wear your name tag! Breakfast meeting 2008 calendar |
