Registration catagories

[+dustystar]

I am working on providing retirement village residents with an introduction to geocaching. The idea is to inform them about geocaching, then have them help design and place a geocache on or near their property. I am working with the managers so permission is not a problem. The benefits to the residents is they can watch the geocachers hunt the cache and read the logs on the web site. However, how do I register a name or group so everyone can access the web page/logs and yet not have total access to make changes to the cache post page?

Thanks for any advise.

You can read the cache page (with the exception of the coords) without an account, so you wouldn't have to give the account password to everyone...only those who would need to edit the cache page would need to know it.

Thanks! The meeting with the activities director was today and went well. She is setting up a time for me to start the classes. I hope to get a lot of input from these residents so they will take "ownership" enough to protect and perserve the cache.

Thanks! It will be interesting to see what is more fun and rewarding, the geocache or the interaction with the residents.

We found a cache that was placed outside a retirement home (The Rockhound Special...GCKHGT). At first it seemed a little strange to be pulling up in front of the place, but after we arrived it was a very nice hide! One of the residents happened by, talked with us for a bit, we were even invited in for a glass of iced tea! He said that the people there enjoyed seeing the cachers pull up, watching them search for the cache, seeing where they were from, etc. It was definitely a fun find for us!!
