The event is potluck lunch at Starkey park, co-ordinates are for Pavilion B in the day use area! The event will start at 10am & the potluck lunch will begin at noon!
Come one, come all to the 3nd Annual Jay B Starkey Wilderness Presserve Geoevent & New Years Eve Eve send off.
Last year we held GC17VY3 and the year before that, GCXGWK! Everyone has said we needed to make and keep this an annual event! We will bring the plates, cups & plasticware! We have electricity for those that want to bring their laptops! Sorry, no WiFi!
The park is located in western Pasco county on 8,069 acres & is easily accessible from SR 54 via Starkey Blvd. (Entrance to Longleaf). The park's normal hours are dawn to dusk. The park has several hiking trails as well as a horseback trail & bike trail. Picnic shelters through out the park as well as playgrounds for the kids.
There are currently lots caches in the park ranging from easy to hard & virtual, traditional & my dad's favorite, multi. They range in size from micro to 5 gallon bucket. Rumer has it that there is even a 35 gallon size cache out there somewhere!
We will have several new caches waiting for those who attend to find, they will be released on 12/28/08.
My family & I will be looking forward to meeting as many as want to come.
We will have a table set up for trading of Travel Bugs & Geocoins & another area set up for just discovery for those of you that can't quite let go! I'm one of them! Now if you find coins elsewhere at the event, please respect the owner & ask first!
Please post in your logs what you will be bringing! Also there is a very large grill in the pavilion, large enough for several people to cook on at the same time so if any one wants to bring food & cook there, you are welcome to it! If a couple cachers would bring some sparkling apple cider or grape juice, we can have a toaste to the New Year! Last year we missed it! This year we will not! We will be bringing water for drinking & ice!
Now, to add to the fun, Captn Biggins will be helping us out this year with a poker run. Also, some of the new caches will be raffled off (no cost) so come early!
Registration starts at 9am & the raffle will be done at 10am which will give the lucky winners 2 hours before lunch to find the caches! Lunch will start promptly at noon by the clock on the GPS. After lunch, all new caches will be given out so if you were one of the lucky ones but didn't find it, look out because now you have competition!
