Would anyone be interested in speaking to a local meet-up group about geocaching? I was approached today by a colleague who is involved with the local Meet-up group and asked if we would be interested in presenting to a Meet-up group on August 3 (I will double check the date). They are having a pot-luck at Valley of the Moon Park and are interested in learning about geocaching. This would be a sort of Intro to geocaching demonstration with a little hands-on demonstration for their group.
It would only require a couple of people as they will not have GPS units. Please post here if you are interested in this and I will pass along the needed information.

The Meet-up will be at 6:00pm on August 3. We need some people to help out setting up a poker run. This will involve sealing cards in envelopes and placing them in ammo cans and then hiding the ammo cans around the park. We need a few people to help with a short introduction to geocaching and getting everyone started with searching for the Poker Run.
Does anyone have any spare GPSrs that we could use for this event? Thank you

For sure the GPS is yours to use, and I will attempt to make it there to help out. when are you planning to setup the caches?

I will be at the park around 5ish to set up. Based on what they have asked for the only real work will be the setup and a brief how to on geocaching and how a poker run works and then let them wander and have fun. Anyone else available to help out?

I can come by on the 3rd if you're still needing help.
Just give a call or email so I know, poker runs are always fun. I think our next CITO should combine trash pickin with poker, not quite sure how to blend the two together though.

Does anyone have any GPSrs that we could borrow for the evening tomorrow night? I have not had any luck rounding up devices. We need about a dozen, but more would work out better. We can return them to you late Monday night or Tuesday; or you can come down to Valley of the Moon park tomorrow around 5:30pm. The MeetUp starts at 6:00pm, but we need to program the units with coords for the Poker Run ahead of time. Thanks everyone.

I'll bring my GPS with me for them to use. Also, I may have an ancient Magellan I can bring is I can remember where I buried that dinosaur.
