After seeing some great marshmallow toasting skills recently at a
downtown event, we'd like to invite all cachers for a BBQ,
Campfire, and Overnight campout at
Omana
Farm
Park
.
KiwiLeon
and GreenBLAT are aiming for combined total of 1000 caches finds by
then, if we needed a reason for celebrating!
This event is timed for Waitangi weekend in a
picturesque
Auckland
Regional Council park.
There
will be a preview of new cache in the park with some extra
waypoints thrown for some extra caching entertainment during the
afternoon - KiwiLeon will be handing out the cache sheets for
this.
The BBQ will be fired up starting at about
4:30pm
. Please bring your food to grill, and a salad or side dish to
share, along with plates, cutlery etc and something to sit
on.
The gates remain open until
8:30pm
.
Sorry
but Fido will have to miss this one. Dogs are prohibited from the
farmed areas, campsites and picnic areas in the Park.
But wait there's
more...
for
those
opting to stay on and join those of us camping overnight, just a
few hundred meters away is the park campsite. Please book your site
through the ARC. Details of the facilities, charges, and booking
instructions are on their website at
(visit link)
There is a stack of room and not too late to book.
The
campsite features a campfire area, so fire restrictions permitting,
we will put those marshmallow toasting skills to practice and spin
a few caching stories until late hours.
Please
bring any Travel Bugs and Geocoins for others to enjoy and if you
want some Travel Bugs and Geocoins to travel please bring them
along too.
All are welcome, Come One, Come All
We would appreciate
early logging of interest, even if tentative at this stage, so we
can get an idea of numbers.
If
anyone wants to attend but has logistical difficulties such as
transport or camping gear, log a note and anyone who can help out
please respond. If you are lost or need further info on the day,
txt or phone GreenBLAT (Alan) on 021 315028.
