Last year on this same weekend, a group of cachers consisting of
El Dorado Bob, Calkids, MarshallOD, B.O.S.N., size14shoe, 3-carver
and Scoobert met at Loon Lake for a celebration and overnight stay.
The
celebration was fun, but the campfire was the
highlight of the trip. So this will be the 2nd annual but 1st
official "What Happens at Loon Stays at Loon" Event. Of course you
won't have to hike 25.5 km (15.8 miles) and gain 1680 ft of
elevation to attend the event, unless you want to of course. But
then you'll have to wear B.O.S.N.'s pink boots.
There were some mind-boggling ideas that surfaced during that
campfire, some of them which can probably be attributed to
B.O.S.N.'s
Vanilla Vodka.
Many of those mind boggling ideas became reality, including the
Loon Lake Snowshoe Event. But most of the others we can't share
because What Happens at Loon Stays at Loon!
In any event, we thought we'd try for a repeat campfire this
year with a larger collection of cachers to see what other crazy
ideas we could brew up. This will obviously be a camp out event, so
bring whatever you need to be self sufficient for camping for the
night. The campground should have plenty of room this time of the
year. There are also plenty of additional camping spots outside the
designated campground if you wish and plenty of places for
RV's/campers (fee or free, depending if you need hookups). It will
probably be chilly at an elevation of 6600 ft, so bring plenty of
warm clothes. We'll try to keep you updated on the weather,
campground information and fire restriction status as the date
approaches.
This event is posted at the Loon Lake Chalet as that is where we'll
be meeting at outside of at 2pm directly after the preceding
CITO Event. We will post information on cachers campsites by
the front door of the Chalet once those campsites are
established/occupied, as well as which site (or coordinates) the
main campfire will be held at. We will also probably be eating or
having some sort of potluck right at 2pm for the hungry CITO
gang.
Just in...Bonus! We've been able to secure the chalet for the
afternoon for use of the kitchen facilities!
Knowing
B.O.S.N., there will be plenty of fun and creative activities
as well as some techy stuff and/or map and compass talk.
Sunday morning there will surely be groups kayaking and canoeing
as well as various hikes around the magnificent shorelines of Loon
Lake (and beyond!). So bring your watercraft and/or hiking
boots!
If you come out for this one, you are all but guaranteed to have
fun and laughs. Hope to see you there!
