CACHERS R
US
2008
6th Annual
Portales Heritage Days GeoCaching Event.
Date June 21st
Start Time 11:00 AM
We will be meeting at OASIS
State Park and the Rangers are again being very nice and letting
the GeoCachers into the park for free. There will be two
events in one again this year. All teams will meet at the
above coordinates between 10:00 and 10:45 AM each team will be
given a starters kit. Only one GPS and one vehicle per
team. At 11:00 AM we will go over the ground rules and then
get it all started. ALL teams must be back at the above coordinates
by 3:00 PM.
Team BobKatz is working on setting up a meet
and greet on Friday evening June 20th at one of the local
restaurants. Details will be posted as soon as time and
location are available.
The first event will be the
main event and send you all over and around Portales. The
second event will be “Just For Kids”. This event will be held
at the above coordinates. It will consist of several caches
within walking distance. Parents are encouraged to go along with
the kids and help with the GPS. The kids can exchange items
in the true GeoCaching spirit.
Team BobKatz will be running the
Just For
Kids part of the event.
For the third year
teams TheButlerandTheQueen
and Team FBI will be preparing
and serving all the food. Hamburgers, hot dogs, and
drinks. Water will also be provided for everyone to take
on the search for caches.
Prizes will be awarded for
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. There will also be some special
prizes. Teams are encouraged to stay as long as they like to
visit with other GeoCachers.
If you plan on making it
please post a note here as soon as possible. I need to
know the number of team members, the number of kids and their ages
(so we can be sure to have the kids caches stocked).
Due to logistical
limitations of managing teams, I must know by midnight June 12th if
you plan on coming to the event.
Please place
this cache on your watch list. It will be updated as
plans develop. Plan on a day of caching and fun.
Remember to bring extra batteries and sun screen. There are
several teams I want to thank for there generous donations.
