Geocache Description:

Got a travel bug that wants to travel to Las Vegas? How about Sacramento or Reno? I am planning a move from Portland, OR to Las Vegas. I want to meet geocachers, exchange TBs I got in Portland, and make sure your TB can grab some serious mileage. The event is on Monday evening September 24 at 6:30 PM. Let me know if the coords do not match the location linked here: http://www.wildriverbrewing.com/wrbp-gp.html with the address of 595 NE F St, Grants Pass, OR 97526

I am told that the coords I originally posted are wrong. THE CORRECT COORDS THAT ACTUALLY MATCH THIS LOCATION ARE: N42 degrees 26.361' W123 degrees 19.140' Stay tuned for a page correction. (Thanks DriveAbout!) Basically, if the place looks like the picture, that is where you are going. :)

When you get there, look for the kinda-largish woman wearing the black sequin cap with large gold stars on it. Ya can't miss me wearing THAT hat. :)

I (Sparrowhawk) am moving away from Portland to Vegas to live in a beautiful house where I can recover from breast cancer surgery (already done) and face chemo (upcoming... yuk!) with a supportive caretaker who lives there.

This event cache will be the first stage of several event caches along my route to Las Vegas. I plan to take at least 4-5 days to get there, with a different event cache scheduled each at certain cities and towns along the route to collect travel bugs, see the best "wow, didn't know THIS was here!" types of caches and say hello to fellow cachers.

Here is my plan so far. I want to establish event caches at each stop along the way, one day per stop. I intend to exchange TBs with cachers at each of these locations:

* Portland (GC15K87) to Grant's Pass, OR (HERE!)
* Grants Pass to Sacramento, CA (GC15Z2C)
* Sacramento, CA to Reno, NV
* Reno, NV to Las Vegas NV

Sounds like a plan? I hope so. :)

Bring some bugs, eat some great pizza (wow, you Southern Oregonians have better pizza than anywhere here in Portland!) and have a great time! BRING TBs!
