The cooler crew is an online community that is made up of folks with a commonality that involves digging in parks in the dead of the winter and because we have this obsession in common, we find other parts of us that have commonality too. - TerryV
Who goes to a picnic in February?
The Re-Hash Bash is always open to all Diggers, Hunters, Clue-Writers and Lurkers. Discuss the Medallion Hunt, and have a good time with those of like obsession. It's a great time! The Re-Hash Bash is a family affair. Spouses and kids (even toddlers) are more than welcome! Come early, stay late and eat, then eat some more. It's a potluck deal. It really is a fun time. It helps bring closure to the hunt for the year.

It was so much fun tromping around in the snow,
we just had to do it AGAIN.
You do not have to be a member of the
Minnesota Geocaching Association
to attend our events.
Anyone who has ever geocached, or wants to learn, is welcome !
This will be a very relaxed, casual gathering.
We will play high tech "Treasure Hunting" (also known as geocaching).
Sorry, there will NOT be a $10,000 prize !
This event will run concurrently with the 7th Annual Re-Hash Bash.
The CoolerHeads are a group of people who participate in the
Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt during Winter Carnival.
The Bash began in 1998 at Cherokee Park. It is always on the Sunday after the Medallion is found, and is held at the location where it was found. The link above is where all the clues were analyzed (over-analyzed !), accepted, rejected, discussed.
