oregonblackdog Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 As some of you know, I recently was minding my own business when I was subjected to a sneak attack by my heart. I have been going through a cardiac rehab program at Merle West Medical Center, and was describing how I am using geocaching to compliment my exercise program. The staff has approached me with a request to meet with members of a cardiac victim support group to explain the joys and benefits of geocaching. It will take place at Moore Park on Thursday, the 22nd of August, at 6pm. I have been thinking about setting up a short multicache course to use as a "training run" for these folks. At max, there will be 20 people attending. I'm going to try to borrow 5 GPS units from OIT, but I could use about 5 "volunteers" to coach groups of 3 to 4 people around the course. If anyone is interested in helping out, drop off a post. I would also love to hear good ideas about how to lay out a program like this. PS. We can plan a social event at Blackdog & Mare's residence (close to Moore Park)for those who don't have to do meaningul work the next day, as well as for those who just want to pop in and say "hi". quote:Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while, I was a suspect. - Steven Wright John & Mare [This message was edited by oregonblackdog on June 28, 2002 at 12:05 PM.] Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Over in Klamath you'll get all the help you can imagine but count me in. Just give me a reminder. I have a couple of extra 315's I can loan out. There are some nice caches already located in Moore park if some patients are up to going after them. Still I'd be happy to help out a group. Then I'll go bag a couple of new ones for me. Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
oregonblackdog Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Guys, your help is much appreciated. I'll keep you posted as to details. John & Mare Quote Link to comment
+Bufford Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I'm sure that if I check my busy social calendar I'll find an opening on that date. And my team will kick Lazyboy's team's butt. Don't think, just do it Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 You can always make the thing an "event" cache and I'll bet that would drag out about 3 cachers for each person interested in your new hobby. Oh and Buffords team can kick my teams butt. If they don't get lost or hurt themselves falling down in the woods first Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
+Lone Ranger & Tonto Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Don't forget to count LR&T in on this, any excuse for a get-together is fine with us. Hi-Yo Silver Away!! Quote Link to comment
oregonblackdog Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 It's great to see the interest and response...especially from some of the more famous (infamous?) cachers. Lazy Boy, many deer in caching area as you know. My be I ought to stash some BB's along the way. quote:There is a fine line between sitting on the bank fishing and insanity.

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Oh now don't be teasing me on this one. BB's? Deer? Hmmm, hour before lunch, I think I'll thaw out a little bambi while I cruise the boards. Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
+QUAD EXPLORER Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 I would be glad to help. I even made a program on the computer that will explain the gps units we use. Let me know Quad gdr@internetcds.com You hide it and I'll try and find it. GARMIN V Quote Link to comment
oregonblackdog Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Sounds great! I expect that once the calendar turns to "8" I'll be ready to start planning in earnest. Maybe a get-together some Friday or Saturday pm is in order to brainstorm ideas! John & Mare [This message was edited by oregonblackdog on July 19, 2002 at 11:40 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Sounds good John, make it an event brainstorm and you'll really get people showing up Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
+Peanuthead Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hey Lazyboy, I have to mow my lawn and do laundry tonight. Should I make THAT an event cache TOO ?! Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hmmmm, we may be on to something here. I'll have an event to paint my house. Why each wall can be a seperate cache. Watch for those new caches, you don't want to miss this one Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
