One and all are invited to the first
meeting of the Create-A-Cache-Assemblage!
(Which for future reference will be known as
CACA!!!)
This event is officially ridiculed, laughed at, repulsive to,
and in no-way endorsed by the rag-tag bunch over at MAGPI! But, I
of course expect them to show up and take credit!! SHEESH!
Mountaineer Area Geocaching Persons of
Interest
Seeing that lately I have repeatedly found that caching with a
group is much more enjoyable for me than going solo, I am
experimenting to see if the fun of PLACING a cache can also be
enhanced!!
Or...
Will the concept of “caching by committee” fail? Will too many
cooks spoil the broth? Will Lassie save Timmy from the well? Let’s
find out shall we?
Admission is one (1) smallish piece of swag. This is
optional! (Come on, It's not like I'm going to ask you to leave if
you show up empty handed!!! Just showing up is a plus in my
book!!!)
This event will most likely last all of one (1) hour!!! (And
then you can all go back to your important lives.)
The agenda for the assemblage today will be the following:
1. Meet at 11:00 AM, Saturday, August 2, 2008 at the above
coordinates which are for the parking area at the ends of two
rails-to-trails lines located next to Pricketts Fort.
2. Gather all costs of admission. (IE. Small swag items)
3. Spend much time speculating/deciding on swag to be included in
the cache. (Space permitting, ALL swag will be used.)
4. All attendees will and MUST sign cache log book.
5. Assemble said cache.
6. Scour the area for possible cache locations.
7. Discuss, argue, threaten, politic, vote, tabulate, beg, bribe,
and more politicking until a decision is made as to the final cache
location.
8. PLACE CACHE!
9. Discuss, argue, threaten, politic, vote, tabulate, beg, bribe,
and more politicking until a decision is made as to the final cache
page.
At this time, I, your humble host, will head straight home,
forgoing any other enjoyable endeavors, to submit the above decided
upon cache for approval! (Unless I get a little distracted, or
decide to go have a beer, or grab a bite to eat, or get eaten by a
Grue.) Then it might take me a little longer to post the cache
page.
NOTE 1 - The following items are already
donated for our cache:
Container - 50 cal ammo can
Log book
Stash note
Labels/stickers for the cache container
Writing implements
Plastic baggies
NOTE 2 – IMPORTANT! – READ ME!! – LOOK HERE!!! –ARE YOU
READING THIS?!?! - ALL members attending today’s meeting
event will get a special bonus!!! When the newly placed cache goes
live, all attending members of the assemblage will not only be
listed as co-hiders, but I feel that you should also then be able
to log a find!!!!! (But only after the Once and Future FTF. Come on
now, lets be fair.) How’s that for value added? So go for it!!!
Caveat!:ALL attendees will have to be at the final cache site of
the new cache to get credit and be able to log a find on
it.
Credit for the event concept goes to all of the following:
Country_Rat
Gentleman-Carpenter
Spotty Spotty Pony Girl
Rock_Rat
Wvcoalcat
(HEY, wait a minute! All of the above ARE members of MAGPI!!! So
they CAN claim credit!!! And now that I think about it, SO AM I!!!!
HAHAHA!!!!!)
It took us all of 15 minutes to think of, discuss, and design this
event...
Over lunch...
While caching...
In the middle of nowhere, IE. Flatwoods, WV
Blame them if everything goes to heck in a hand basket!
And, of course myself, I am your host, Mr. Roarke.
