approximately 12pm until 5pm
high noon:
Official Welcome - Gather 'round.
1:45pm:
Cache Stories -Think of your best adventures. There will be an opportunity for you to take the podium, if you wish!
2pm:
A Blue Marsh Ranger will come by and chat with us about the "special use" permits now needed to place a cache within this area. Remember that this is still army-owned land, and with the alert status these days ... we can understand their extra cautiousness.
2:30pm (or right after the Ranger speaks):
Group Picture - We'd love to gather as many people as possible for the semi-obligatory group shot.
2:40pm (might be later, depending on how much of a circus the Group Picture is):
Door Prize Giveaways - We will start with the winner of the Nametag Contest.
 We plan on doing a lot of relaxing and socializing! You are welcome to search for area caches, of course. Word on the street: new caches will be placed when approval from the USACE is secured. Keep your ear to the ground.

BONUS:
There is a Water Safety Festival at the Dry Brooks Day Use Area that same day!

Our basic plan is for each cacher & their party to bring a little lunch (or something like that) for the group : a drink, a special dish you make really well, etc.
If you know what you are definitely bringing, tell the Official List Maker (so we don't all bring baked bean burritos). Here's what we have coming so far:
- assorted chips / pretzels / cookies
- some burgers and hotdogs and charcoal for the grill (from the $$ left over from last year's picnic) - TaranWanderer has been volunteered to be grillmaster
- veggie spaghetti salad and some sausage and rolls
- a can of Spam TB1B8
- pasta salad
- strawberries and fruit dip
- a cooler of beverages
- bottled water
- case of soda
- baked pineapple
- cake
- southern baked cheese corn
- brownies
- veggie tray
- fruit salad
- utensils and napkins
- trash bags
- plates
If you are wondering what we still need, no one has actually signed up for baked bean burritos. ;-)
