Portland Geocaching Event - May 29, 2009

The Geospatial Information Society (GIS) Student Organization (an
ASPRS student chapter) in collaboration with the Friends of Geography
(FOG) is holding a geocaching event at 3pm on May 29th, 2009.

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the
participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to seek
containers, called "geocaches".  A typical cache is a small waterproof
container (like a film canister).  Along with the latitude and
longitude, we are including historic/background information about the
location and its interesting features. The goal of this event is to
raise awareness of remote sensing and the geography of Portland.

We will meet at 3:00pm in Cramer Hall room 413 to learn about GPS,
bring your own GPS unit or borrow one of ours if needed, learn how to
use it, and go over the rules of the game.  We will be outside by
3:30pm, dress appropriately!
