Geocaching the Wright Way by Paula Mchugh THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 22, Number 43 Thursday, November 2, 2006 Geocaching the Wright Way by Paula McHugh Walking in the woods, or even in the city for that matter, has taken on a new dimension thanks to the satellites that orbit Earth. Hobbyists across the globe have joined the high-tech craze known as geocaching, and the Daryl and Bernice Wright family of Michigan City are among those who have become fans of this hide and seek “treasure hunt.” The hobby of geocaching is fast catching on “I don’t know whether it’s called a sport We don’t often think about the satellites with high-tech treasure hunters across the or a game,” Daryl told us, but one thing circling high above us, but geocachers would globe. (Logo by Leatherman) is for sure: the Wright family is hooked have no treasure hunts without them. on the fun and adventure that their global positioning system receiver (GPS- r) leads them to. According to Wikipedia’s definition, geocaching is an “outdoor treasure- hunting game where participants use the GPS receiver or other navigational tech- niques to hide and seek containers (caches) anywhere in the world.” Most containers, which can range from an ammunition box, a small Altoids tin, or plastic film or pill containers hold a Containers for stashing trinkets can be as big logbook and trinkets. One of the specialized groups the family as an ammo box or as small as a mint tin— belongs to is Spiritquest, where geocachers sometimes even smaller. The Wrights discovered the benefits of geocaching after reading articles learn about the history of old cemeteries. about the hobby in a local newspaper. “We started in February of 2005,” Daryl said. “That’s when I bought my first GPS receiver.” Since that time almost two years ago, Daryl has picked up three more receivers from deals he found on the Internet. Since the fami- ly’s first hunt—with snow on the ground and trekking for treasure at Washington Park, the Wright’s have logged over 1,000 (actually 1,102) finds from trips This past April, the family attended the Great near and far.

Plus, the family now buys passes for the state parks, some- thing they say they never did before. Through the official geocaching.com web- site, fans of the hunt for treasure can download waypoints (coordinates) for the places they want to explore. Geocachers also can log their finds, give others tips and clues, and learn about specialized hunt groups. Daryl had invested in a Palm Pilot to download the way- points. That way, he said, he avoids the trou- ble of having reams of paper with the waypoints The Wright’s became hooked on geocaching two years ago. They recently logged printed on them.

Daryl and Bernice can count off numerous benefits To date, the Wright’s have traveled to Ohio, Michigan, they’ve discovered since getting involved with the Wisconsin, Illinois and Tennessee for geocaching geocaching craze. In addition to the fresh air and exer- opportunities. This past April, the family attended the Great Smoky Mountain Coin Quest where 25 teams of four had two days to uncover 72 caches.

The Wrights now have four of them, each with different navigational variations. Once an individual or family gets hooked on geo- caching, they often have their own specially-designed coin cast for trading, collecting, and hiding in caches. The Wright Family “handle”, the 501 Gang, refers to their street address. The Wright’s, their children and grandchildren have collected dozens of family coins from friends they’ve met at the many events they’ve attended. The Wright family’s geocaching handle is “The 501 Gang,” and they had this geocoins cast to celebrate their hobby and to swap with like-minded treasure hunters. “We were at Fernwood (Botanical Garden in Niles, Michigan) a few weekends ago for a geocaching event,” Daryl said, adding that Fernwood’s staff host- Icelandic Design... ed an introduction to geocaching for anyone who wanted to learn.

  • Bento Dinner Plates for the Post-Covid World by Myglassstudio
    Bento Dinner Plates for the Post-Covid World by MyGlassStudio Defeat Covid-19 Message To Our Customers Delight Your First Guests - Rejuvenate Travel What we see For 20 years we serve the food service industry. We have been here when the fine dining boomed, here when the Towers fell, here when the crash happened, here when the hospitality sector growth boom took place. Nothing compares... Covid-19 is a catalyst for change especially within our industry. It disrupts the fundamental values of hospitality: “the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests and strangers”. In Greece, we call it “filoxenia” and it has a bit stronger meaning than the word hospitality: it means “the love for strangers”. It was such an important value, that the abuse of filoxenia was the starting point of the greatest war in ancient times: the Trojian War. Today, disruption on a fundamental scale is happening. We cannot assemble and we do not trust strangers. Nevertheless, travel is in the human DNA. It has been there for millennia, it is stronger than the virus. As Homo Sapiens, we will adapt and survive. Where we are Despite the challenges that our clients face in many parts of the world, MyGlassStudio team is established in more or less Covid safe countries. The factory never seized to operate. We have a vertical production and we do not depend on outsourcing. Our sales teams have been working remotely a long time before the crisis. In this sense, operationally the crisis found us prepared. Our loyal family of people is striving to excellence even during these unprecedented times and this is cherished by both of us.

  • The “Big 5” and Other Ideas* for Presentations Donald Cox September 2000
    The “Big 5” and Other Ideas* For Presentations Donald Cox September 2000 *Disclaimer—Please don’t feel compelled to follow any of these. They’re just suggestions, and you might not feel that they’re right for you. Obviously you should plan your seminar in a way that works best for you, so please feel free to ignore any or all of this advice. The typical “style guide” sometimes sounds shrill and hysterical. People tend to get overzealous about matters of taste—even though, almost by definition, these are things about which reasonable people can disagree. I’m afraid this guide at times is no exception, which is all the more reason to take these suggestions with a grain of salt. Some people just seem to be natural presenters, and I envy them. But many, myself included, have at one time or another found the whole presenting process a bit frustrating, especially early on in our careers. Maybe you’ve run out of time before having a chance to get to your punchline or you gave the punchline but felt your audience just didn’t get it. Perhaps you got distracted by a tangent in the beginning and felt that everything got pulled off track. This happens a lot, and it’s a letdown. If you have some really great, interesting results and you’ve worked like mad to prepare for your talk, you want things to go perfectly. But there are so many factors that make things difficult for us. Public speaking is not something most people do naturally—many are terrified by it.
