Northwest Council for Computer Education

Had a great week here in Portland at the NCCE annual conference. To the left you see a arial photo of the Portland Convention Center and the surrounding neighborhood. The red dots indicate the location of Geocaches (treasures). These caches were set by local geo cachers in Portland. Under the leadership of my friend GEM's (Glenn Malone), these wonderful folks set, mantained, and managed this course for the enjoyment of confernce goers. During breaks in the conference attendees could find these caches, using donated GPS units, in order to enter a drawing for a brand new GPS. I had great time meeting and working with these folks.

Here is Nick contemplating which next session to attend.

Some of the local cachers helping out.

Tuesday night we went out for dinner in the area around Lloyd Center, one of the older shopping areas in Portland, on our way back to the hotel we stopped to watch "curling" in the mall. The sport is just as nebulus as "cricket" to me....I don't really get it.

Wow looks like the commander & chief was here too!!!!
