We will be

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 2:00
PM.
Team BobKatz is
working on setting up a meet and greet on Friday evening June 19th
again this year. Details will be posted as soon as time and
location are available.
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.
T
eam BobKatz will be running
the
Just For Kids
part of the event.
For the forth
year teams
TheButlerandTheQueen
and
Team FBI
will be preparing and serving all the food, and
drinks. Team
found4woods will be providing water again this
year
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 12th 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 and locals
I want to thank for there generous donations.
TheButlerandTheQueen, FBI, red250, BobKatz, found4woods, rentib,
tealeaf, and charizard for being the TB wrangler. Yucca Telcom for
there help.
