This series
of geocaching seminars has been well received in the past by both
the public and the County Parks system and in turn, everyone can
benefit from this activity.
If you recently purchased
a GPS or have a co-worker or friend who has a GPS, mention this
class and bring them along.
This program will be held Saturday,
October 29, 2011, 10AM-3PM, at Queeny County Park in the
Greensfelder Recreation Complex, located at 550 Weidman Rd in
Ballwin, MO 63011.
The program is scheduled to start
at 10AM. We will have a PowerPoint presentation, along with sample
caches, contents, log books, etc, and other geocaching items to
display. After the indoor session, we will go outside where we can
break up into small groups to learn about using a GPS for
geocaching, locating caches, and other related
questions.
Laptops will be provided
to transfer waypoints to the GPS's as needed using EasyGPS. Some
cables will be provided (Garmin and Magellan), but to be safe, it
might be wise to bring your own cable. This session is scheduled to
be finished by 3PM.
You may want to
bring a sandwich or go to one of the restaurants just down the road
on Manchester. As before, SLAGA will provide ice, soda, and
water.
Mark your calendar for October 29th
and plan on attending. We will provide GPS's for those that don't
own a GPS so we can provide hands on experience as
necessary.
If you know anyone that has an
interest in learning about geocaching or has a GPS, be sure to tell
them about this event.

through St. Louis County Parks. The reservation number is
314-615-4386
