Thinking of starting a Geocaching for the Inept boot camp...
I had an idea of advertising in the paper for anyone who wants to go geocaching but doesn't have a clue other than they've heard about it and it sounded like fun. Here's the plan: I charge $175.00 for an afternoon or morning of geocaching. I hand you a brand new GPS unit with batteries (that you get to keep), teach you how to manually enter coordinates and the basics of using a gpsr. I Let you follow me around to caches, giving you the opportunity to search the last 50' or so (usually the hard part on inner city caches)). Let you get comfortable with the process. At the end of the morning or afternoon I lay out the containers and supplies to make some cache containers that you get to keep. You can also bring up to 3 friends at $25 a head that will also get to go geocaching, and make a container of their own. You get a virtually useless certificate at the end of the day (already framed with your name on it) I haven't gotten past the planning stage yet but it sounds pretty simple. Anyone have any input on this? Am I crazy for even thinking about it? The gps units I'm thinking of using are in the $150 range (like maybe a Magellan Explorist 200 or similar unit), so I'm not trying to get rich, it just sounds like it'd be fun. Somebody shoot down the idea quick, I'm feeling like I might give it a go.
