Arround old Ottawa South.  Started on bank and made our way to Bronson,
finding caches allong the way.

> What was the time format?

A few hours. Sorry I don't remember more precisely.  It started at 10.

> What aspect did people enjoy the most?

The location was accessible to non-car owners.  Good gender ratio, nice
weather, starting at the Café allowed people to chit chat.

> What do you think could have been improved

There had been some confusion arround the meeting spot.  I had mixed up
Bridgeheads franchises.

> Would you be interested in being part of that party? We were thinking
about doing that in June.

I can't say that I would be super inclined but if time and date fits with
schedule I would go.  First two weekends of June are already booked.

>>>
>>> There used to be a Geocaching group on http://www.meetup.com, but not

>>>
>>>    - If we have few people, we do one group, and that group go after
>>>    the same geocache.
>>>    - If we have a lot, we can do team on different geocaches, and try
>>>    to see which team is the fastest
>>>    - Eventually, we can take some time for a beer / coffee together at
>>>    the end.
>>>
>>> In terms of organization, this is how I see things :
>>>
>>>    - The geocaching party must fit into a morning. We all have things
>>>    to do during the week-end.
>>>    - People should be able to bring their folks / friends.
>>>    - This should be advertised on meetup well in advance and on our
>>>    wiki page.
>>>    - 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.

>>> So, where do we start ;)? I suggest you first let me know what you think

>>>
>>>    - Are you open to that concept.
>>>    - Would you rather see that replace the monthly meeting the month it
>>>    happens? (That is definitely doable)

>>> Remember, I really need your feedback to make that happen, so share your
