The coordinates will take you
to a shelter at Presque Isle Park near Shiras Pool and
Moosewood Nature Center. The shelter should have
electricity.
Please bring a dish to pass, some
lawn chairs, picnic games, etc. Grills available, we'll have the
fires going from 4-5 pm. Group picture at 4:30 pm.
We'll have coordinates for the
temporary caches at check-in. Please email 2_UP_Geologists
(schultznwolfe@gmail.com)if you would like to volunteer to place a
temporary cache or two. The coordinates will be determined well
ahead of time but the caches must be placed prior to the event on
the 4th and removed prior to closure of the park at 10 pm. We'll
have additional information as we get closer to the
event.
Bring some bugs (no ticks please!)
and stories to swap.
Unfortunately, dogs are only allowed
inside closed cars.
Door prizes will be drawn after the
group picture. If you have something you'd like to add to the
goodies, feel free to drop them off at the time you check in. Park
in the Moosewood Nature Center/Shiras Pool parking lot (the lot
closest to the coordinates) if there's enough room, otherwise near
the ice cream stand. Both Moosewood and Shiras Pool will be open so
feel free to visit them, no charge for either.
We might have the ability to upload
caches to your GPSr so bring your download cable. It worked for
some folks last year but not for others.
***NOTE***Craig333, our Michigan
Geocaching Organization regional vice president anticipates
attending. He'll bring along the Dunham's discount cards to
distribute to MiGO members. It's not too late to become a member.
Click on the button below to go to the MiGO website and sign up as
a MiGO member. It's free and you will get immediate benefits in the
form of Dunham's discount card! One of MiGO's recent
accomplishments (although it took years of contacts and
negotiations) was finalizing a blanket permit for state forest and
some other state lands. Permission is still required from the land
manager but the permit fee has been paid by MiGO. Go to the MiGO
website for more details. Under affiliations on the left-hand side
of the screen, click on DNR and scroll down to see the full
agreement.
