Geocache Description:

An event for new cachers, veteran cachers, potential cachers and those that enjoy the outdoors.

Saturday, Oct 20th from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the Huntsville/Madison County Landtrust's Monte Sano Preserve Pavilion. Potluck Lunch, and a chance to enjoy the cooler weather!


The dog days of August strayed into October and it is just now getting pleasant outside, so let's get together and put the cooler weather to good use!

Bring your GPS, a chair and appetite and meet some of your fellow geocachers. Bring the kids, bring a friend, but please, leave the pets at home!

Advice will be available on paperless caching, caching etiquette, how to find a cache, how to hide a cache and most anything else you might want to know about geocaching.

There are at least 19 caches on this Landtrust property, including an EarthCache and one of the oldest caches in Alabama, and most, if not all, have not been hunted since July, so after we meet, greet and eat, we will go hunt a few.

Trail maps for the area will be available along with a printed list of the caches on the property (to include coordinates). After we eat, there will be a short talk on map reading, coordinate systems and map plotting

I will provide hickory smoked chicken, burgers, dogs and toothpicks. The balance of the meal will be potluck (that means everybody else brings beans or tater chips, soft drinks, cookies, etc.) We will shoot for eating around noon. Bring the family, bring a friend and plan on staying awhile.

Please note, you must sign the Official Event Logbook in order to post an "Attended" log.

See you there!
