Maybe something on Travel Bugs and Benchmarks. -----Original Message----- From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of GC-RGS Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 10:19 AM To: GC-maillist Subject: [GeoStL] Things are looking good. I just got a call from Marty who is in charge of the St. Louis County Parks public programs. He would like to have a program setup for the public on geocaching. This would be strictly geocaching since they already have a GPS usage program setup with Alpine shop. It is tentivly setup for early April and will be at Greensfelder Park. They have a nature/training center there and will provide a laptop and projector/screen. We will need to provide a Powerpoint presentation on CD since they do not like to hook up outside computers to the County's equipment. The County usually charges $3-5 per person and they will split that 50-50 with us. I think there are currently 5 caches (single and multi) in the park that we can use and may want to think about something special for the event. Maybe hide a micro and a virtual to give them a chance for each type. I have to fax him (his email is down) a 1 paragraph description of the program by Friday. So if anyone has any ideas of what we should cover, send them to me. Some of my ideas in random order: 1. PowerPoint GPS screen shots 2. Types of caches 3. History of geocaching 4. Cache in/Trash out 5. Zeroing in on the cache 6. Topo maps and trail maps 7. Using tracks 8. Geocaching.com & SLAGA & geostl.com 9. Overlayed tracks on ExpertGPS Sat. and topo maps of park with current caches. 10 Types of containers and how they are hidden 11. ??? This could really be a big feather in our hats and make a GOOD name for ourselves. We need to do this right. Rich
