The cache co-ordinates are for Arni's Restaurant at Market Square in Lafayette, which is where we will be meeting for a nice warm dinner on a cold January evening.  Before that, however, we will be having a little bit of fun.  We've never done a poker run before, but we've read about them and wanted to try one.  Here's how the event will run:

There will be 5 temporary event caches placed in the Lafayette/West Lafayette area.  Each cache will contain numbered, sealed envelopes, each with one card in them.  For example, all the envelopes in cache #1 will have the number 1 on the envelope.  Your mission is to find each cache, remove 1 envelope from that cache and bring all 5 of your sealed envelopes to the dinner.  Your envelopes must still be sealed (so we know you didn't peek at all the envelopes in the cache to get a specific card) and you cannot have more than 1 envelope with the same number on it (so we know you didn't just go to the first cache and take 5 envelopes).  Not that any of you would even think of doing such a thing.  J

Please note that this is NOT a race - there is no benefit to being first-to-find on any of the event caches.  We don't want anyone trying to rush around town in winter weather.  Also, all the caches will either be drive-up or a short walk, so hopefully everyone can participate.  The poker run will begin at 3:00 at:

N 40°  24.974    W 086° 48.798

These co-ords should take you to the northwest corner (behind the gas station) of the Meijer parking lot near the intersection of I-65 and SR-26.  You will be looking for Mr. Car54 (picture on our profile page) and our cache-mobile (gray Tundra double-cab pickup).  He will give you the short list of rules and the co-ordinates to the 5 caches.  You'll want to be there no later than 3:30, 'cause that's all the longer he'll be there.  You should have plenty of time to hit all 5 event caches and maybe even some other local caches before meeting everyone at Arni's for dinner.

We will be awarding a Hoosier geo-coin to the holder of the best poker hand and another prize for the worst poker hand.

Please give us a headcount for dinner or Arni's won't be able to save a room for us.  Hope to see you there! (Oops - almost forgot - this cache was placed as part of the Coin Quest game.)
