Delaware
Geocachers conducted this program for the Delaware Division
of Parks and Recreation. Their booklet described the program
this way: With a GPS unit you will never
be lost again. Learn about this high-tech instrument that
is growing
in popularity.
The GPS unit can record exactly where, how far and how
fast you hiked. Geocaching is a new fun use of the GPS
unit blending high-tech
with nature. Caches are hiden and GPS coordinates are posted
on www.geocaching.com. Anyone with a GPS unit is invited
to search out the treasure, sign the log book and trade
out trinkets. Learn the rules and regulations of this now-official
actvity in Delaware State Parks. We will search out a few
temporary training caches and then go for one of
the caches hidden in White Clay Creek State Park.
A number of folks attended this event. Mike Ott, head of
Delaware Geocachers, hosted the event and took the pictures. Do you
