We have reserved Pavilion #1 at Pelahatchie Shore Park for the
day. Lunch will be pot luck. Please post on your "Will Attend" log
what you plan to bring. Bring your family, someone else's family,
your favorite dish and beverage, and be ready to have a good time
swapping caching stories, TB's, geocoins, and good cheer! There are
5 caches currently in the park, and a bunch of good caches in the
immediate area, so the pavilion will serve as a great central
headquarters for those wanting to go out on small cache runs and
return to the event for re-fueling and fellowship. If anyone out
there has a boat with a motor and is able, there are several hydro
or island caches nearby that can only be reached by boat (or
swimming if you are BassAngler). The pavilion is equipped with a
fireplace, and we plan to keep a yule log burning, so bring some
marshmallows for roasting or be ready to make s’mores for the
kiddies (small and big).
********** PLEASE NOTE **********
As in the past, we are having a toy drive for the Blair E. Baston
Children’s Hospital at University Medical Center. Please bring a
toy (unwrapped) suitable for a small child, which we will collect
and deliver to the Hospital. Your donation will help a child have a
merry Christmas while in the hospital.
Activities include lunch, geocaching, swapping TB’s and
geocoins, and lots of fellowship. Door prizes will be awarded. MSGA
shirts, caps, and geocoins will be available for purchase. Several
geocoin collections will be on display for your perusal and icon
harvesting. Several major milestone awards will be presented, so if
you have reached a milestone or are very close, please let us know
if you would like to be recognized at the event. Finally, we plan
to have a fun night cache run ending up at Woodduck Manor. Everyone
is welcome to attend, and we look forward to a big crowd and a
great event.
If you are a beginning geocacher, this is a great way to make
new friends and hone your skills by caching with other experienced
geocachers. If you are a salty veteran, you know that this is a
great way to renew friendships, relax and swap TB's, caching
stories and adventures. For everyone it is a chance to add some
more icons to your personal profile, make new friends, and have a
great day geocaching.
More to come later, so keep checking back for the latest
info.
