Bring your chairs, snowshoes, a bundle of wood for the fire, and all your geocaching stories and questions. Oh yeah, don't forget your GPSr and extra batteries. Be sure to dress for the weather…. cold and snowy. Last year we had several inches of snowfall the night before the event.
Actually, the coordinates above take you to the parking lot for the Muncie Lakes Pathway located in the Pere Marquette State Forest, the same location as previous years event. There will be several new caches placed within snow shoeing distance in time for event day, and several more already in place within a short driving distance. There is a primitive outhouse at the parking lot, but NO running water or heat!
The lunch menu will include my world famous chili, slow simmered in a Dutch oven over a camp fire, french fries, fresh home made bread, hot dogs, chips, cookies, and hot chocolate. All food will be provided again this year but to cover the cost, $5.00 per adult is requested. Children eat for free. Prize drawing will be held promptly at 2:00 PM, you must be present to win. Donations for the prize table are welcome!
Be sure to tell every cacher you know about the TC Winter Convergence. Hope to see you all there and be sure to put this cache on your watch list!
