Fun, Games &
Lemonade!
Sunday, August 17th from 1pm to 4pm.
A Meet N’ Greet BBQ and Potluck
Please join us at the newly
renovated North Clackamas Park in Milwaukie for an afternoon of
fun, games, food and lemonade. Geocachers of all levels are
welcome! Whether you have 1,000 finds or zero finds, you are
invited to come out and join us. There will be events for everyone
from beginners to seasoned and for all ages.
We will also be hosting 2 educational mini-meetings about
geocaching during the event for new and beginner cachers or for
people who want to know what the great sport of Geocaching is
about. There will be beginner GPS units available for people to try
out and a "Beginners Course" setup to help sharpen your geocaching
senses.
Officially the event kicks off at 1pm sharp, but please feel free
to start arriving as early as noon to get yourself settled in,
catch up with old friends and meet some new friends.

Events
These are events which do not have a
“specific” start and stop time and
can be enjoyed through out the event
Closest To The
Coordinates:
Before the event begins, coordinates for a specific spot will be
determined and during the event you can place a holder with your
name on it where you think the coordinates are. The winner will be
determined by whom ever is closest to the pre-determined
coordinates.
Cache-A-Rama:
Several temporary caches will
be placed through-out the park for the day. Visit all of the caches
and retrieve the special item from each cache to win a cool
prize.
Getting To Know
You:
Meet
fellow cachers and answer secret questions about them to win a
prize.
Potluck
& BBQ:
**Please bring serving utensils with your
dishes**
Cachers A-F please bring a
side dish
Cachers G-S please bring a salad
Cachers S-Z please bring a dessert
Hot Dogs and all the fixings will be provided ($1 suggested donation per
hotdog)
Lemonade, water, utensils and
plates will be provided
There will be a table set aside for TB / Coin Trading, discovery as
well as an extensive signature item display to help encourage the
creation of signature items.
In the time leading up to the event, the organizers will be
leaving "Golden Tickets" in caches through out the Portland area.
If you are lucky and find one of these elusive raffle tickets,
please bring it with you for a special drawing!
There are several picnic tables at the park, but you might want to
bring your own lawn chairs just incase seating becomes
limited.
Want to donate a door-prize? Contact one of the organizers to find
out how!
PLEASE post a “Will Attend” log if you are coming so that we will
have enough of everything for everyone.
Also, please let us know what you are bringing so that we don't
have 30 plates of brownies and 1 fruit salad.
In order to help offset some of the cost of hosting this event, we
will be selling raffle tickets throughout the day. The drawing will
start at 3:30. We have TONS of great prizes - Gift Certificates,
Geo-Swag, Loaded Ammo Cans and lots more. The Pièce de
résistance of the raffle - a bran-spankin NEW GPS! (insert
crowd noise here) AHHHHHhhhh... OOOoohhhhhh....
For all the cachers trying
to be more green, start saving your dead batteries and bring
them to the event for recycling
as we will have a "Dead Battery Bucket".
The information on
this page is expected to change as we get closer to the
event,
so make sure to check back often!
Don't forget to bring your GPS!
Unless you plan on winning it in the
raffle!
