Wow! What a great weekend! Top notch event. Thanks to the campout crew for all the hard work & thanks to Skillet for the great hospitality. The bbq squirrel was very good. =] Yummy chili. The desserts were crazy good! We can't wait for the next Geo Ocotillo.

Another huge success thanks to everybody who came out and camped or stopped by.
Lots of great food was wolfed down Sat. night. I think we had 11 entries in the Chili contest,
as well as the dessert contest! The Poker Run was very profitable for Chuckb our winner!!
We'd like to point out that our 'NO WIND" dance worked, as the weather was absolutely PERFECT!
Our thanks to the Campout Crew, who year after year, make this event work. It couldn't be done
without any of them!
Cat & Bobby ~ Chili Cookoff
Robyn & Kathy aka Team Reid ~ Poker Run
Denice of Kwvers! and Team Fatman a huge thanks for stepping in for Jahoadi, and taking care of the dessert contest.
And, to our MVP, Skillet, for once again letting us use his property! Great bonfires both nights, thanks to all that wood!
Sunday morning, everything was picked up, including trash, and that's thanks to all of you!
Hope you found lots of caches, again thanks mostly to Skillet for hiding all of them, had lots of fun and food,
and got to meet quiet a few new cachers that traveled a ways to camp with us.

Guess we just can';t wait for next year..Huh??

Thanks Everybody!

We got home late last night from our weekend in the Dez. We had the best time. I can't begin to thank you all enough for all you did to make this happen. It was nice making new friends and getting to meet face to face with those names I've seen so many times online or on logs. Being the newbie's there is no way we are going to remember you all so forgive us in advance. All the girls who rode to the slot and in the dark mine you... are my Hero's! I am in awe, as you may have found out this chick is a wimp when it comes to Jeeping.
Mahalo nui loa!
Kathlene (& Jerry)
