Team Shydog: I really want to thank everyone for coming out and enjoying the day with us. We had a great time putting this event on this year. A big Thank you goes to the Tank Hounds for all the help that they did making this picnic happen, from the Pathtags to manning the sign in table all day. I do appreciate the help. The thanks also go to everyone that made it a fun filled weekend, The Lakedawgs and Jenischmeni did a great job hosting their event. Thanks guys.

It was great to see all the people enjoy the games and caches. The smiles made all the work worth it.

The Lakedawgs have stepped up and volunteered to host the 2010 Spring Picnic. They will post all the info of when and where in the future. Let's give them the support to let this great event continue.

One last call for logging those two last TB's out, I am going to have to mark them as lost and I really hate to do that to the TB owners. So check your backpacks and see if they are there.
