It's all
aboüt the Eights!
The FlyinV's
fascination with unusual dates continues! They're in New
Mexico now, but the tradition continues in South Jersey. And
if it's not in South Jersey, it 8'nt the original! So come
and say you 8 at the 08-08-08 @ 08:08:08 Event!
The Eighth Year,
Eighth Month, Eighth Day, Eighth Hour, Eighth Minute, and Eighth
Second mission began in 2005 when the FlyinV's decided to hold an
event called
05-05-05 @ 05:05:05
to determine which cachers were so crazed and
hungry for geocaching that they would get together that early in
the morning. Almost 50 fellow cachers attended! The following
year,
06-06-06 @ 06:06:06
was just as much fun with over 60 people
attending that event. In 2007, about 150 cachers
attended
07-07-07 @ 07:07:07
… therefore, the “All About the
Numbers” event series lives on!
We are inviting
all of you to join us once again for a geocacher greet, meet, and
eat! And, if it's all about the Eights this year, then it has to
take place at 08:08:08 in the morning!! This year, the event
is on a Friday, so put in your vacation request early, or, cough
cough, start playing up the "too sick to work" routine on Thursday
before heading home! The goal this year is for 88 cachers in
attendance!
We have even
given it Eight Stars (4 for difficulty and 4 for terrain) for those
who will have difficulty passing up this event, and for those that
will have difficulty getting off from work or vacation (for those
unfortunate few who might have to go to work,
try
these on your boss
and join everyone for an after-event cache-a-thon)!

This is the
kick-off event for a weekend of Geo-Events. Spend Friday at
the 08-08-08 Breakfast, then Saturday for a 4-state Event Hopping
experience:
Just like the
past years, we are on the lookout for creative cache containers and
creative hide ideas. Last year we had numerous inventive and
imaginative containers at our event and we are eager to see what
this year will bring! In that vein, a contest ensues...
Most Creative Geocache
Container.
Put your noggin to work and get
creative. Bring your coolest geocache container. The
only rule is this has to be a useable geocache container, and we
should all expect to see it placed soon after the event! The
winner will be decided by YOUR VOTES shortly after 08:08:08.
Prizes will be awarded for First, Second, and Third place
finishers…you just have to play to win!
To claim this
event cache, you will need to make your way to the above
coordinates and sign the logbook by 08:00. This will ensure that we
can all be together to celebrate 08:08:08. We hope you will
stay for breakfast!
“Bug Exchanges”
are always welcome. If you are bringing travel bugs to trade,
please have their Bug Page printed and included, so their goal will
not be a mystery.
If you plan on
attending, please include in your posting how many will be in your
group so we can let the restaurant know how many crazy cachers to
expect. Be sure to watch this page for updates, changes,
and/or announcements.
