Arkansas 15,000 Club
Honoring Rhone
We are excited and privileged to invite you to an event to induct a geocacher into the Arkansas 15,000 Club. In order to be inducted into this club you need to find 15,000 caches, none of which can be your own. You also must be a resident of Arkansas and contribute to the geocaching community with your time and cache hides.
Rhone began caching on May 23, 2004 and has finds in 3 countries and 48 states. His 15,000th smiley was found on October 4, 2014 @ GC53KCK GCCO GeoArt #0574. Below is Rhone's log for this huge milestone ....
"The roads were in excellent shape, allowing one to drive faster than was intended. We got an early start and a late finish and found more than expected. It was fun, but exhausting work. Late to bed and early to rise makes a man weary, but many smilies to claim. Thanks for all the fun we had on this series. It was lots of work getting set before even coming to make the finds. A team effort gave us very accurate coordinates, and helped to eliminate many errors by cross checking results. The hard work put into this nice series is greatly appreciated, as it gave us countless hours of fun and fellowship. Thanks so much for providing these nice hides for others to enjoy"
Please join us in celebrating this huge milestone with Rhone. The event will be held at Italian Gardens, a restaurant in Russellville's historic downtown area. Each person attending will be responsible for their own meal. We will need a accurate head count before the event, so please write your "Will Attend" logs with attendee number by Thursday night, January 29th.
The manager of the restaurant has agreed that persons attending this event will not be required to purchase anything. However, please do not bring your own food or drink into the restaurant!
When: Saturday, January 31, 2014 12:00 (noon) till 2:00 pm
Where: Italian Gardens, Main Street, Russellville, AR (Above Coordinates will bring you to the restaurant's front door) We will meet in the back room at noon.
What: Induction of Rhone into the Arkansas 15,000 Club
Hosts: Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl
RSVP BY: Please log your plans to attend by January 29, 2014 so we can give the restaurant an accurate estimate of the number of attendees.
Since Rhone has hidden so many caches for all of us to hunt, we thought it would be fun if each attendee brings a cache container for him that is ready to hide, with a log and swag if appropriate. Of course, this is strictly a fun idea and is not a requirement to attend the event. Bringing a cache container for Rhone is 100% optional.
