TNGIC 2008 GEOcaching Event Winners
The TN Geographic Information Council (TNGIC) Conference was a huge success last week in beautiful downtown Chattanooga, TN. We would like to thank everyone that participated this year and throw out a “special thank you” to everyone involved in organizing the event. I think everyone would agree that this year’s Conference Committees did an outstanding job.
Richard Duncan and Cliff Hoeffner, with GEO-Jobe GIS, enjoyed planning and sponsoring the GEOcaching event at this year’s conference. Richard and Cliff both planned the event thoroughly while hiding the cache’s and donating GPS units loaded with Map Data of the downtown Chattanooga area. This year there were 3 teams, made up of 13 total TNGIC members, competing for “bragging rights” and Starbucks Gift Cards. The teams set out across downtown Chattanooga armed with GPS Units and a list of Waypoints representing the cache’s to be found. Once the cache was located, using GPS Units, the teams either had to describe the cache in great detail or retrieve their teams tokens and turn them in at the end of the event. The tokens were then used for scoring the teams and determining the winners. The results of the GEOcaching event are as follows:
First Place - Tie
NetGIS - Ann Howland, Katharine Bennett, Mike Street, David Light,
Jason Light, Randal Hale, & guest
TWRA - Tracy Jackson, Stacey McDaniel, Lynn Barrett
Second Place
Chattanooga WooHoos! - Michael Jones, Susan Finger, Art Finger
If anyone has any more pictures of the event, please send them to us. Thanks
