We decided that it
would be a good thing to have a small meet and greet event right
before the holidays. Please come on by to meet some of the local
geocachers and to gather info on our favorite past time. We will
meet near the published coords. Bring your equipment (GPSr) and
your questions. There are 10 caches within in the park, so you can
practice what you have learned. This gathering will be very
informal, so just come on any time between 10a-1p. If you have any
questions before hand you can write us a note on the
log.
