Any iPhone users out there would would be able to give some insight into what Geocaching Apps are out there for the iPhone and how to use them...I'll handle the Android side of things. Also if anyone uses blackberry apps, I would love to have someone talk about whats out there in the blackberry world.

we have put together 20 cds with some gsak files on it that contains the files we sent out to sir_zman with the gsak 101-301 manuals and variable information for the databases in gsak, along with a listing of all the macros available and links to those macros, a folder with the macros e found to be useful and fun, the latest version of the gsak setup file, and a coouple video clips that we hope will help people out. the videos are in response to hal-oween's question. Loneeagle_24 will be picking these cds up and bring them along with him to the tech event. wish could be able to come to the event and help out. found out that still have 4 weeks before can even go out caching. have fun at the event.

I still plan to pick up a couple of dozen rolls on my way down on Saturday morning. Just curious if anyone else would be bringing anything.

after looking at the number of people who will be attending and looking for gsak help the 20 copies of the cd we prepared will not be enough. those who would like a copy of the cd after the intial 20 are gone may want to bring a blank cd with. I am sure there will be enough people there with laptops that will be able to burn more copies. looks like we could hve been helping out a lot of people. have a fun day.

I know I'll appreciate the work you put into this and hopefully I'll get one of those copies. I've only used GSAK for the most basic of uses. Apparently, Speedy has some stuff in GSAK that I could be using to plot out previous Breakfast Buddy location, etc. but I haven't sat down with him to have him teach me. This will be great! I'm sorry you won't be able to attend so thanks for all the work you've put into it!

I've asked a few people to take over the "Puzzle" track, but none were available. So I'm going to have to drop it if no one is willing to take it on; I'd do it myself, but I'm no good at puzzles.

I think we have filled all the tracks now, so feel free to check out the cache page one more time for a final listing of classes and times.

If you are planning on joining us for the Pot-Luck, please bring your own plates/forks; I'll have a few paper plates and plastic forks, but would like to save them for anyone who doesn't see this message. Also, bring something to drink.

Lastly, Dunn Brothers has offered to donate some coffee to us for the morning; so a huge thank you to them. (not sure if they will have cups or not, so you might want to bring a travel mug if you have one).
