Hanging around the house eating all day and "fixing things" just won't do, these two need to get out! Obviously, a trip to Lake of the Woods county park is just the thing.
The park is quite a place, with a 60-foot bell tower, a covered bridge, and a very nice local history museum. There are hiking trails and a lake for boating and fishing. There's even a great golf course. A collection of pavillions is available.
OS and CJ spent many hours at this park back in the last millenium. We remember the giant water slide, and the tiny buidings and figurines at the Swiss Valley.
OracleStone was elated at finding just the right spot for a group of chilly geocachers to warm up, eat, and carouse.
We will meet in the cozy Izaak Walton Cabin
There will be some crazy caching games, too. We can't spend the whole afternoon just hanging around the cabin eating!
Capn-Jack has picked out his spot, a nice cozy chair near the fire. Please don't tell him there's no fire yet - it would only confuse the poor fellow.
11:00 am Official start time, drop on in to the cabin for tasty comestibles, hot cider, and the like. There will be tables for trackables to take, and a different spot for trackables to discover without taking. We'll have a couple of laptops running with PQ files for you, and the latest download of GSAK in case you'd like to install it. (free!)
2:00 pm The Pirate's Challenge Teams of four or so will compete in puzzle solving indoors and in the field. Prizes of inestimable value will be granted to the finishers!!
4:00 pm Official end of the event. We need to pack up and exit the park by the 5pm closing time, or risk being locked
