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.
