Geocache Description:

Whoo hoo! Join us in Valencia County, NM for a fun day of caching! This event is scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the www.geocaching.com website.

We will be returning to our traditional venue at Willie Chavez Park in Belén, NM by popular demand.
The Event Cache will start at 10:00 a.m. with the handout of materials. Please be there at 10:00 at the latest to get important event info.
If you like to geocache , you'll be driving all around Valencia County finding as-yet-to-be-published permanent geocaches (and any other of the 150+ existing geocaches you desire) from that point until we gather back at the park at 4:30 p.m. for the social hours and prize portion of the day.

The gates will be closed during those times, so that the public does not enter the park. Just open the gates, drive in, and close the gates again.

Tent and RV campers may come in starting at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 12, and stay until Sunday, September 14 at 10:00 a.m. There will be no fee for camping.
If questioned, tell them that you are with the Girl Scout group. See gate instructions above.
Please indicate in your "Will Attend" log if you are planning to camp.

If you are attending or considering attending, please keep the event on your watchlist for updates!
When you are sure you'll be attending, please indicate in your "Will Attend" log how many people will be there under your geoname--we need to plan for food, etc.

It will be very hot , so bring lots of extra water, pack a lunch or snacks if you just can't stop caching for lunch--and don't forget extra batteries!

We're looking forward to seeing our caching friends from years past , and to meeting all the new cachers from Valencia County and beyond!

UPDATES:
UTurn will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs at around 6:00 p.m., so plan to hang out to eat after prizes are awarded. If anyone can help, that'd be great.
Please bring something to share for the meal. Say what you'll bring by editing your "Will Attend" log (and how much, e.g., 4 dozen hot dog buns).

Friday night activity!
Friday at 7:00 meet up at Ribs in Los Lunas for dinner and comaraderie. The coordinates are: N34*48.182 W106*42.349--actually, the coords to a cache there.
I'm making it late so you can cache ahead of time on Friday if you'd like, and so folks who actually work can make it in time .
Please email me separately if you are coming on Friday; I need to give them a head count by Thursday. Thanks!
