We have had a couple 101 events, should we try 201? I was thinking of GSAK and paperless caching as topics. If someone would like to go over cell phone notifications?
I am not sure if I am a 201 teacher but would be glad to get the ball rolling. I can tell what I know and after 20 or 30 seconds someone else can add on.
I'll see if I can snag a classroom at work, if that works?
Week night?

Yes, a 201 with the subjects you mentioned would be great. I am right at that level, bridging over to paperless. I am curiouse about if I just ride around with my gps on... would it beep at me when I came upon a cache, that had been downloaded? How close....... yes, 201. Any day of week. It is difficult to schedule around all of us. My preference would be Thurs or Friday evening maybe Saturday morning then off to caching to try out our new skills.

I'm available on Monday nights, Thursday nights, Friday nights, and Saturday mornings; subject of course to prior pre-emption by my lovely wife! A '201' type course is about due here: - GCAK - Geocache Alaska!... your local cachers' organization - What does it do? How can I be involved? Why should I care?
- GSAK - Geocaching Swiss Army Knife - geospatial management software - or a fancy name for the computer tool to help you move to 'paperless caching' with a PDA
- Cell Phones and Geocaching - Just what's possible out there?
- Paperless Caching - a demonstration of the internet to computer to PDA & GPSr linkage -
no paper needed (just patience and batteries...)
Any other mysteries to explore?

How about some about cache placement. Like where its OK to put one. Where we already have permission to. And where we been told not to.

We have some answers for that one... better done in class format, then posted on this site. The Ladybug Kids have been the driving force in trying to get a master list pulled together on this topic... Delicate topic - MOA Parks has tacitly agreed that caching belongs in city parks - until it becomes a problem - which is why we (I) cheerlead hard for the CITO project at their crown jewel facility (the Kincaid Chalet).

Okay, I am getting close on the 201 event. As much as I would like to do it for free, it's looking like a charge of $10 would help cover the room at the Science Center. ($125.00) Any extra money could go to Scobey and LBK for the website or new coins. Oh the date will be the end of March 27 or 29 still waiting to hear back. 6:00 to 8:30 or 9:00
Do you guy think that will fly? -Ole

I will attend! I figure it to be like a college course. I need the information bad enough so name the date and time and I will be there with $ in hand.
Thanks for setting it up. I became flustered trying paperless caches.... I have a waypoint in my GPS but how do I remember all the information or why doesnt my GPS tell me if I am around one while in the city? I am sure this class is going to be perfect for me.
