We felt that the best way to send them off to their new
adventures was to have an event cache, along with a series of
caches placed in their honour. We welcome all to participate--by
placing a new cache and coming to the event. And if you are new to
geocaching, this is an excellent opportunity to meet fellow cachers
in the area. You can also think of it as a warm-up to the Christmas
party season! Please carefully note the details below:
Part I - Celebratory
Caching from November 30th 1800h to December 1st
1100h
- Between now and November 28th, hide a cache in the Kingston or
surrounding area. Remember, bluensoserstoo particularly like urban
micros, tough hides and no hints! So be creative (and may be a
little evil too.) There are a few things you can do to help the
cache reviewers with these hides.
-
- Please do not wait until the last minute to place the cache and
submit your listing. Give the reviewers plenty of time to review
and post all caches.
- When you submit the cache, be sure to leave a reviewer note
stating "Please do not publish until November 29th. This is for the
GC16EWH event."
- Please help us with cache identification by beginning the cache
name with BN2 (for 'bluenoserstoo'). For example,
if your cache is to be called "Not AMIAT Cache!," please call it
"BN2 - Not AMIAT Cache!"
- To remind the reviewers to hold publishing these caches until
November 29, CacheDrone has requested that you also preface the
cache title with "Nov 29: " (using the example
above, it would be Nov 29: BN2 - Not AMIAT Cache!)
Once the cache is published, you can edit the cache page and delete
the Nov 29 from the title.
- All caches placed for the event will be published on Thursday
evening so you can plan your routes and solve any
puzzles.
- On your cache page, clearly state that your cache
cannot be logged until after 6:00 p.m., November 30th
and any logs before then will be deleted.
- If you're placing a multi-cache and/or puzzle, be sure to use
the "additional waypoints" feature on the cache creation page to
allow reviewers quicker access to determining boundary
limitations.
- Geocachers participating in this event can head out to find as
many caches as they can from 6:00 p.m., November 30 until the start
of the event at 11:00 AM on December 1st.
We will try to have all the caches listed as a bookmark link on
this page just prior to the event. To help with the bookmark list,
please email swimmrguy the GC number of your cache that
was placed for the event.
Part II -- Lunch
Time! December 1st 1100 - 1300h
For lunch, we will be meeting at Doffer's. Here you can have a
bite to eat, chat with fellow cachers, exchange caching stories,
travel bugs and hints to those impossible finds! Doffer's has a
free WiFi hotspot, so feel free to bring your wireless
laptops/PDAs.
Doffer's
(at the posted co-ordinates)

Kingston, ON

Part III -- The Gift
Exchange Celebration 1300 - 1400h
- With Christmas being just around the corner, a KAG style gift
exchange will take place.
- To participate, each cacher should bring a
wrapped gift (we suggest $5 - 10 limit) suitable
for the same age group--children bring a child-appropriate gift,
adult for adult..

When you post a "Will Attend" log on this page,
please indicate how many will be in your party with a breakdown
between adults and children and the ages of the children, i.e. 5
and under, 5 to 10, etc.
Check back often for further updates. A note will
be posted whenever this page is updated--so putting this page on
your watchlist will keep you in the loop of any changes. We look
forward to seeing you there!
