[Ottawa_users] Geocaching

[Julien Lamarche]

I did an introduction to Geocaching once on the Ottawa Geek Social Club
meetup.

Had about 7 or 8 people.   Best way to get computer geeks outdoors :-)

> In terms of organization, this is how I see things :

>    - The geocaching party must fit into a morning. We all have things to

>    - People should be able to bring their folks / friends.
>    - This should be advertised on meetup well in advance and on our wiki
