Stratton-Eustis Community Building, Eustis, Maine.
The second annual "Get Useless In Eustis" event will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2009 in Eustis, Maine. The Stratton-Eustis Community Building (coords are for there) has been reserved for that day and will serve as a meeting place. It will open at 7:00 AM, and breakfast will be served shortly thereafter. Four new caches will be published and posted at 8:00 AM. The building has two restrooms, a large completely equipped kitchen, a stage, lots of tables and chairs. There will be a registration table, door prizes, and a TB/coin swap table. NEW THIS YEAR: a prize for the best photo taken in this area and a prize for the "most innovative" cache container. Winners to be determined by popular vote. Coffee will be provided throughout the day. A pot-luck dinner will be served around 5:00 PM. Last years dinner was a big success so please bring whatever you did the last time, if possible. No alcoholic beverages. And no dogs please, unless they are VERY small.
We have also reserved both group sites at Cathedral Pines Campground for Friday and Saturday nights, which you may use for free. Or you may reserve (and pay for) your own site by calling 207-246-3491. The group sites are very large and have fireplaces, picnic tables and Porta-Potties only but you may use any of the facilities at the campground across the street. That has hot showers, flush toilets, a dumping station, rec room, small playground and a swim beach. Canoes and kayaks are for rent or you may bring your own. If you're a loner, I can show you several out-of-the way primitive sites. Not into camping? We have four motels and two B&Bs. Alcoholic beverages and dogs are allowed at the campground. Last year there was a campfire each night in the group area that all may go to.
On Saturday you can go caching and find all you want from Kingfield to Rangeley, Stratton to Chain of Ponds. If you like to climb mountains, put a team together and do Cranberry Peak in the Bigelows, or Kennebago, Sugarloaf (two caches there), or for the less adventurous, Bald Mountain in Oquossoc. Or go kayaking on Flagstaff Lake and get yourself a University of Eustis Bachelor of Geocaching degree by finding the specified 14 caches. There are caches that can be reached only by boat, and some that can be found by foot or boat. Last year it was popular to get together and do the SW East Kennebago Mt 4x4 Progressive Ride ( 7 caches) and some people even rode their mountain bikes back down. We will be happy to help you make a list of places to stop and caches to find.
Here's an excuse to visit or re-visit this lovely area, meet new geocachers, talk shop, compare GPSrs, get lots of exercise, just have fun!
Any questions, please e-mail kayaking loon through geocaching.com. I'll be happy to help you with any plans or arrangements. This is a beautiful area and we hope many of you can come to enjoy it!
I had a request for the coords for the group sites. Group Site # 1 is at 45 11. 347 070 27.940. And Group Site # 2 is just beyond it.
