Great opportunity for beginner as well as seasoned cachers to try out searching with their new high tech toys or topographical maps or orthogonal photos. There will be a search for the Easter Rabbit and a colorful egg hunt. We are working on some sort of B-I-N-Geo game as well.Name tags will be available to help in your meet and greet activities. Refreshments include hot chocolate to complement the bring-a-snack table for which you are welcome to bake or buy.TRAVEL BUG exchange table will be availble. To facilitate smooth transfer, please consider posting a note in advance to drop the TBs you will be bringing. Please take no more than one for each one you bring. If you have an extra one to drop, that will allow a newcomer to grab one if they can help it along. Please sign them in and out on sheet of paper that we use for answering any questions that arise during the week to follow. Log them out on website as soon as you can, but do allow some time if they were not dropped early.CACHE ITEM exchange will be a yankee swap variation. You are invited to bring trade items (with value about $5) either gift wrapped for the season or not. At about 3pm, we will start drawing one name at a time for someone who is in the room to pick out an item. Each person or team will get a chance to choose. If you must leave early, something will be arranged. Keep it simple, make it fun.Directions for those that want them: Use exit 10A from MassPike for route 146 South, take Route 16 East to Uxbridge Center, turn left on Route 122 North, in 1-1/2 mile turn right at next traffic light onto Hartford Avenue, then in one mile turn right on Oak Street.
