However.....Next quilt will be given away at a non-event. Details below....Please note.... this information is provided only for this cache -- it is NOT a geocaching event. I had anticipated an event to be approved, and had announced on the forums that this cache and prize would be available before the event was submitted. The event cache was not approved but I still have a Baseball themed "Cuddle Quilt" to give away.
I am ALSO in possession of the following "Moving" caches (and some baseball themed TBugs) which you will be free to log if you choose to do so....
I will be attending the Twins v. the Indians game on Tuesday, September 23rd. The game starts at 7:05pm.
These caches will be available BEFORE THE GAME, from 6:00pm to 6:45pm at
We are meeting here so Wild George can join in a small part our day, miles away on his computer in Utah.
(anyone else who will volunteer to take and post some photos for the group with the web-cam, please do so!!)
Our tickets are in Section 224 if you want to try to get tickets nearby to us (or not). THIS IS NOT A GEOCACHING EVENT!! YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE GAME TO WIN THE QUILT! Just come meet me at the above coordinates within the designated time and put your name in the cache! or find me at the game if you do decided to go in!

PARKING
Fans arriving early enough can snag parking meters within a couple of blocks of the Dome. The meters close by have eight-hour limits and will cost only about $4 a game.
Where are all the eight-hour meters?
Find them on South Third, Fourth and Fifth Streets from the Metrodome west to Fifth Avenue South. There also are some along Chicago, Park, Portland and Fifth avenues between Washington Avenue and South Seventh Street. Meters farther away offer only a two-hour limit.
These are the closest parking lots:
On South Fourth Street, just east of Chicago Avenue ($7 for Twins)
On both sides of South Fourth Street between Chicago and Park avenues ($7 for Twins)
On South Fourth Street between Park and Portland avenues ($6 for Twins)
On South Fourth Street between Portland Avenue and Fifth Avenue South (Two lots, actually: The north side of the street is $3 for Twins; the south side is $6 for Twins.)
There's also a handicapped-only lot on Chicago Avenue between South Third and South Fourth streets. For the Twins, it's only $5.
