All geocachers are invited to a day of fun, food,
games and a special contest. March 27th at 11:00am.This great park is 1000acres with 12 miles of the
trails including some on the dikes in the lake. A link for the park can be
found at http://www.columbiacountyfla.com/ParksandRecreation.asp
The Parks Dept. has generously donated the use of a huge pavilion for the
days activities. We will be providing hot dogs and hamburgers cooked by the official
NEFGA cook. We encourage everyone to bring assorted salad and such to
go along with the meal.
The Goal of this event is to help bring
Geocaching to the awareness of the community of Lake City. Lake City is a
growing area for NEFGA and we are taking this opportunity to help
FloridaSurveyor showcase Geocaching here. We are looking forward to having many
new people from the community and to put our best foot forward with the local
parks and recreation people.
Tbugs: We will have a Tbug swap table set up.

this table so please be generous.
Games: We will have a variety of games and caches
to hunt but the Center Piece of the event will be a cache design contest. More
details to follow on this. The Special contest will be based on the purpose
for the event and that is to help FloriadSurveyor seed caches in the Lake City
area. We are going to have a contest where you can enter a cache in up to 4
classes. These must be complete ready to go caches. Trade items and logs. The categories
for the contest will be Urban Micro, Woods or Trail Micro, Urban Full Sized
Cache or Woods or Trail Full Sized Cache. All caches will be judged on the
Following criteria: Content (Trade items and Logbooks), Camouflage, and
Originality. After the event areas of town will be assigned to individual
cachers so the caches can be placed to help seed the area.
Paintfiction has set an event before and after this event for those interested in camping this is a link to that event:Ocean Pond(?) Camping by Paintfiction.
Updates:FlaSurveyor tells me there is a sign posted for Aligator Lake Park that dogs are not alowed. They will be allowed at the camping area but not at the actual event.
