Geocache Description:

Cool potluck event cache on the Northern California Coast

 

(~... c o o l . . c o a s t a l . . r e t r e a t . . c a c h e ...~)

Ready to get out of the heat? Want to spend some time Geocaching at the beach? Been thinking about coming over to the Coast to go to the Fair? Well, how about doing it all, and a Potluck lunch, too?

Bring your favorite dish to share, your favorite drink (no alcohol, please!), plates or bowls and stuff to eat with, and we will have a couple of barbecues set up if you want to grill some meat.

We will be supplying the entertainment! Yep, count on some new Geocaches - available only to those who show up - filled with cool stuff. There will be Geocaching games for the kids, a raffle (more info coming soon!) and the first four groups to show up will receive a Travel Bug to get started on it's journey.

*UPDATES*
Double-check the Event coordinates. They have been updated.
We contacted the people at Jeep and they sent a whole BUNCH of Jeep Travel Bugs to distribute at the Event! Those who haven't even seen one yet, make sure and be here! These will be raffled to make it fair.

Here's the itinerary/schedule:

  • 11 a.m. - Show up, sign in and get raffle tickets (first one is free - after that $1/each);
  • 12 p.m. - Lunch/potluck (please be here earlier to begin grilling your meat);
  • 1 p.m. - Kids' scavenger hunt lists passed out;
  • 1:30 p.m. - New Geocache print-outs released;
  • 5 p.m. - Meet back at park for raffle and Travel Bug distribution

This will also be the last day of the Del Norte County Fair, so you can make it a two-fer trip, if you have a craving for cotton candy and 4-H exhibits.

The Event will be held at Beachfront Park, so make sure you bring your bathing suit and sand bucket. The coordinates may change as the day gets closer, depending on what site is allotted to us. Lunch/potluch starts at noon, so if you want to barbeque meat, get here before then! If you are interested in camping or motel/hotel reservations for your stay, please visit the Chamber of Commerce website for that information. Check under Travelers Amenities.

If you don't know what to bring to the potluck (other than whatever meat you want), then if your last name starts with the letters:

  • A through H - bring a side dish;
  • I through P - bring bread or chips;
  • Q through Z - bring dessert.
