Basic Geocaching Class

I (Emily) am putting together a small "Geocaching for Dummies" Class this Friday at 5pm. We will be meeting up at the start of the bike trail at the Osage Center. I know a lot of people that don't know what Geocaching is so I'm going to take a few hours and teach people about Geocaching. If anyone would like to join I would love to have a group to go with me. 

I am planning on doing a few geocache along the Bike Trail in Cape Girardeau. We will be learning how to do the following:

-finding a good cache for you
-how to operate your GPS
-how to read the description and hints to help find the geocache
-supplies you might need for different geocache
-what to do if/when you find the geocache
-how to leave to geocache
-CITO (Cache in Trash Out)
-rules for geocaching
-basic guidelines for geocache
-types of geocache

If you are interested in coming please let me know by messaging me at jacksonink@hotmail.com or by leaving a comment on here. I hope I can get some partakers. See everyone there!

You will need to have or bring the following:

-good walking shoes, there will be some walking involved
-if you have a car GPS you are welcome to bring that. I have my iPhone 4 as well as my car GPS.
-a good sense of adventure and a good attitude

SEMO BLOGGERS FIRST MEETING!

Hello All! Just wanted to send a quick update that we have decided when and where our first meeting will be held. We will meet on Monday, July 11th at Calix Coffee Bar on Broadway from 6-7ish pm. The purpose of this first meeting will be to get each other's blog information, introduce ourselves, and discuss what we would like to learn in the upcoming meetings. We are also interested in finding out what activities each blogger is involved in so we can support each other. If you've got a 5K coming up or if your church is having a VBS and you need volunteers, LET US KNOW! We want to support each other not only with our blogging but with our daily activities and interests as well.

Feel free to bring your laptop, also pen and paper for writing down other bloggers info. Calix Coffee Bar will have soups and sandwiches available if you're hungry....and the coffee is AMAZING as well so get excited!

Love to you all and hope to see you on July 11th!
