dlynch: Well there are two TBs out there that need to be "picked up" and I hope they will be soon. Time has come to put this event to bed. I truly hope everyone had a great time and we will see what happens next year.
Thanks to everyone who came.]

Geocache Description:

GeoCachers Gone Wild at the Oasis

5^th Annual Portales Heritage Days GeoCaching Event.

Date June 16th
Start Time 11:00 AM

This year (like last year) we will be meeting at a State Park and the Rangers are again being very nice and letting the GeoCachers into the park for free. There will be two events in one again this year. All teams will meet at the above coordinates between 10:00 and 10:45 AM each team will be given a starters kit. Only one GPS and one vehicle per team. At 11:00 AM we will go over the ground rules and then get it all started. ALL teams must be back at the above coordinates by 3:00 PM.

The first event will be the main event and send you all over and around Portales. The second event will be “Just For Kids”. This event will be held at the above coordinates. It will consist of several caches within walking distance. Parents are encouraged to go along with the kids and help with the GPS. The kids can exchange items in the true GeoCaching spirit. This year the Just For Kids part of the event is being run by team BobKatz.

For the second year teams TheButlerandTheQueen and Team FBI will be preparing and serving all the food. This year it will be BBQ beef and drinks. Water will also be provided for everyone to take on the search for caches.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. There will also be some special prizes. Teams are encouraged to stay as long as they like to visit with other GeoCachers.

If you plan on making it please post a note here as soon as possible. I need to know the number of team members, the number of kids and their ages (so we can be sure to have the kids caches stocked). Due to logistical limitations of managing teams, I must know by midnight June 6th if you plan on coming to the event. Please place this cache on your watch list. It will be updated as plans develop. Plan on a day of caching and fun. Remember to bring extra batteries and sun screen. There are several teams I want to thank for there generous donations. keltickacher, Geefour, starman99, TheButlerandTheQueen, FBI, red250, geokitty, BobKatz, and landguard. And charizard for being the TB wrangler.

If you plan on staying at Oasis State Park I recommend that you go online to http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/Oasis.htm and make your reservations as soon as possible. If you have a season pass give them a call at (505) 356-5331.
