Geocache Description:

The Anniversary of Hurricane Charley. This event is to celebrate geocaching, and the geofriends who checked on each other and everyone's caches during our hurricane season last year (and now again this year!). Also to meet and visit new and old friends.

**The Commemorative cache is now up and ready to be posted by all those that attended this event (GCQQE7). We apoligize for the delay. You will see the link on our log of August 13/05.
For those of you that did the cache - No Him-O-Canes PLEASE - GCPZMJ is now up !**

There will be a few 'pocket caches' at the event, but it is up to you to find out who has them!! Just ask the question, "Are you happy to see me, or is that a cache in your pocket?" and you may hit pay dirt!!
What To Bring	Of course there will be the usual TB exchange! Unfortunately some did NOT survive the hurricanes, but let's show the geo-world what survivors these little guys CAN be!! Also, this is rainy season in the Sunshine State, so buy spray may be in order.
