This is the same GZ as our Leap Year and Titanic events. The ribs are pretty good there! For those of us over 21, please have a designated driver. Have a great day of EarthCaching and come hungry! We should be in the room to the left as you enter but if we aren't, check the room in the back. See you there! Save the date for our GC3WCEP 12-12-12 Winter Meet and Greet, 5pm at this same GZ!
Earth Science Week Begins With EarthCache Day
Earth Science Week 2012 will begin with the sixth annual International EarthCache Day on Sunday, October 14. The public is invited to join the Geological Society of America (GSA), which runs the global EarthCache program, and AGI, which organizes Earth Science Week, in exploring this exciting and educational Earth science experience.
International EarthCache Day is a time when EarthCachers around the globe organize small gatherings where people learn about the Earth. An EarthCache is a place that people can discover with a GPS device while participating in a “treasure hunt” called geocaching. “The treasure you find at an EarthCache is a lesson about the Earth itself,” says EarthCaching Director Gary Lewis of GSA, a longtime Earth Science Week partner.
EarthCache events are being held around the world on October 14. To view the locations for EarthCaching events, go to http://www.earthcache.org. For more information, contact Lewis, Senior Director of GSA Education and Outreach, at 720-201-8132.
