<p>I did an introduction to Geocaching once on the Ottawa Geek Social Club meetup.</p>
<p>Had about 7 or 8 people. Best way to get computer geeks outdoors :-)</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello folks,<div><br></div><div>Javed, mentionned the idea of organizing a geocaching party. Geocaching is a game where people have to find geocaches that are associated with a set of coordinates. I love this idea a lot. </div>
<div><br></div><div><div>For more info and see where the caches are see the links below :</div><div><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/guide/default.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.geocaching.com/guide/default.aspx</a><br>
</div><div><a href="http://www.geocaching.com/map/?ll=45.38918,-75.65076#?ll=45.50635,-75.82712&z=13" target="_blank">http://www.geocaching.com/map/?ll=45.38918,-75.65076#?ll=45.50635,-75.82712&z=13</a></div>
</div><div><br></div><div>The goal is to organise a fun get together. Javed and I were originally thinking we would make that happen in Gatineau Hills. There would also be a possibility to chill out afterwards. </div><div>
<br></div><div>There used to be a Geocaching group on <a href="http://www.meetup.com" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com</a>, but not any more. So what I am thinking is the following :</div><div><ul><li>If we have few people, we do one group, and that group go after the same geocache.</li>
<li>If we have a lot, we can do team on different geocaches, and try to see which team is the fastest</li><li>Eventually, we can take some time for a beer / coffee together at the end. </li></ul><div>In terms of organization, this is how I see things :</div>
<ul><li>The geocaching party must fit into a morning. We all have things to do during the week-end.</li><li>People should be able to bring their folks / friends.</li><li>This should be advertised on meetup well in advance and on our wiki page.</li>
<li>People need to let me know in advance what their feeling is like towards that. I don't want to spend time organizing that if it is of interest to no one.</li></ul><div><br></div></div><div>So, where do we start ;)? I suggest you first let me know what you think about this idea. </div>
<div><ul><li>Are you open to that concept. </li><li>Would you rather see that replace the monthly meeting the month it happens? (That is definitely doable)</li></ul>Remember, I really need your feedback to make that happen, so share your ideas, pros, and cons as soon as possible.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
