Geocache Description:

It is time for action. Calling all troops together for some basic training. A get together for all Geocachers new and experienced. A chance to ask those questions on how to set up a cache, get some extra tips on maintaining a listing. And most importantly a time to catch with each other again, exchange knowledge (and tall stories) at a picnic lunch
