The River
City Geocaching (& Dining) Society (RCGDS) would like to extend
an invitation to you
and your family to join us on May 10th - 10am to 5pm in
beautiful historic Coloma for the day.
In lieu of
our monthly dinner, we are having an all day potluck picnic.
The day will be filled with lots of great people, good
conversation and old-fashioned fun.
If you have any games you would like to organize or bring to share
please do so!
A hot grill will be provided for barbecuing along with
paper plates, napkins and plastic forks and
spoons.
Please bring:
1) Your own meat (or meat substitute) to grill
2) Your own drinks
3) A potluck dish of your choice to share
Please
indicate what you intend to bring in a "will attend" note below to
cut down on multiples of the same dish.
I will be starting the charcoal for the grill around 11:30
am.
The
Marshall Gold Discovery State Historical Park will be open along
with the museums. Fishing and swimming are permitted in the river
however, panning for gold is not. There are several
geocaches in the area, as well. I strongly recommend you take some
time to visit some of the many features of this wonderful park.
RCGDS has reserved
the North Beach Group Picnic Area which is just north of, and
on the same side of the road as, Sutter’s Saw Mill. The exact
coordinates are posted above. We will have the picnic area
during the regular park hours which are 8:00 a.m. until
Sunset. Please join us anytime throughout the day, although we
hope you can spend the entire day with us exploring this
fabulous park.
Remember, this is a California state park and a day use fee of
$5 per vehicle will be charged for entrance into the park.
Sorry.

State Historic Park.

Historical note: The 2004 "Springtime in Coloma" event cache
marked the first appearance of multiple Kilted Geocachers. This
years event is also a Kilt Friendly event, so if you have a Kilt
please wear it!
SEE YOU IN COLOMA!
