Geocaching
You're thinking about buying a GPS receiver, but you're wondering what
you would do with it.  Or you've bought one and figured out how to use
it. (You've managed to mark your driveway as a waypoint and can find
your way back to it.)  Now you're wondering, "What else can I do with
this thing?" Come and learn about the growing new hobby/sport of
geocaching.  Learn some of the tricks of the trade from veteran
geocachers Bob Renner and Steve Gross. They'll explain what geocaching
is, how to use the Geocaching web site, how to go about finding caches
and how to hide your own cache. While knowledge of how to use a GPS
receiver is not required to attend the clinic, it will not be covered in
detail during the clinic.
