A geocaching adventure...see http://www.activelivingrochester.org for details...are you in?


At 6 pm on Thursday September 22nd we'll be meeting for:


-Pursing the Quarry Hill Trails to Treasure geocache.  This isn't an ordinary geocache, it's part of a contest sponsored by Olmsted County Public Health to promote trails and exercise.  Our own Tim Massaro helped with hiding several of the caches in this contest.  Contest does indeed imply potential prizes, including iPods, cameras, a GPS, and gift cards.  Start at http://www.co.olmsted.mn.us/news/Pages/TrailstoTreasureContest.aspx if you want more details, or https://sites.google.com/site/trailstotreasure/contest-rules for the Trails cache locations


-Taking a walk for some outside socializing time


-Hauling along a camera, for a mini version of last fall's photo safari


=== Potential October outdoor social - 18 holes of mini golf ===

https://krocnews.com/rochester-mns-largest-mini-golf-course-is-about-to-open/


Meet at the west entrance of Quarry Hill, the parking lot at the corner of 9th Street and 19th Avenue NE, near the playground and tennis courts.


=== Pending potential presentations  ===


If there's desire, the group can split after finding the geocache or all proceed to Kutzky park, to pursue another Trails to Treasure geocache if that's of interest.

No GPS or RSVP required.


=== Socials brainstorming: Fall or winter ===
-Murder mystery.  The host needs to buy a kit at a gaming store to get the event started.


-Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary


-Bowlocity laser tag.  5-6 people minimum needed.


-Liquid nitrogen ice cream.  This needs a non-Tina organizer.  Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes.  We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves.


=== October Meeting: Steve Connor Ability Built Computers & BEAM Initiative ===


ABC Has excess hardware...I have a large inventory of refurbished PDS P4 3.0GHz machines with 1GB RAM and 80GB HD for $75 with 15" flat screen monitors, keyboard, mouse, cables and no OS. If someone wants one loaded with a linux distro, I'm happy to look at it -- it'd probably cost $10 for the labor. I have a large inventory of 15" flat screen monitors for $25. Many have speakers, though I can't guarantee sound. I also have of random hardware including a handful of used Dell rack-mounted servers. I should note that qualifying individuals I can include a copy of Windows XP Pro on the machines. It requires an application and is only available for folks at 280% of poverty (actually quite a bit of money - $60k for a family of 5), individuals with disabilities, schools and 501(c)(3) non-profits. I'm happy to go through this with anyone in more detail if there's interest.

=== Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2011. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?  Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
