Hi all!
There's an annual event held here in Tompkins County, NY called Farm City
Day and this year event organizers (okay, I'm in charge) are hiding a
couple geocache/letterbox hybrids on the host farm as a way of
demonstrating the use of GPS technology and tying it into precision
farming. We have a 4-H group that works with our Ag in the Classroom
program using hand held GPS units. These teens will be leading interested
event attendees through the process of using the hand held units to locate
the hidden boxes. Inside each will be both treats and a stamp and log book.
The event is Saturday, August 10th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Hardie Farm
Inc., located at 31 Holden Road in Lansing NY. If interested in attending,
you can check Mapquest for the best directions from your home. I'd also be
happy to send anyone an event brochure - email me at DLT22@cornell.edu
Take care,
Debbie T (the Bee)
