We'll meet at the Rothesay High
School, Room 112 (I'll have signs up giving you directions),
starting at 10 AM.
Each year in January and February, the Maritime Geocaching
Association holds a Winter Placement Challenge, where winter
friendly caches are put out by cachers in each of the four Atlantic
Provinces.
At stake?
Bragging rights.
Three years ago, NB took the crown, Two years ago, it was NS's turn
to crow! Last year we won it back, and we want to keep it in this
year's challenge! Plus as a side benefit, we get to find lots of
new caches.
What is a cacher's pot luck? Well, it works alot like a regular pot
luck, except instead of food, we'll just bring food containers!
Hopefully, just like a regular potluck where there is WAY too much
to eat, we'll end up with WAY too many caches!
Bring with you any of the supplies that we have laying around the
house, (containers, logbooks, camo stuff, swag). We will put stuff
together to make up as many caches as we can. Attendees can then
take as many caches as they think they will be able to place for
the challenge. I'll bring some finger foods.
Perhaps in your logs you could let me know what you are bringing,
and I'll try to fill in any gaps.
