Geocache Description:

Hike-N-Seek 2010!

http://iowageocachers.org/

The 7th Annual Hike-n-Seek is coming to Lee County. Hike-n-Seek is the Iowa Geocachers Organization's big annual event. Each year a different cacher hosts the event in a different part of the state. This year's event has moved the opposite side of the state - to Lee County. With the help of 3 area agencies: the Lee County Conservation Board, Fort Madison Park & Recreation, and the Fort Madison Convention & Visitor Bureau this event is being made possible.

The event HQ will be at Rodeo Park in Fort Madison, IA. There should be plenty of geocaches for all abilities. Like to hike? We'll get you hiking! Like to bike? We'll get you biking! Prefer park-and-grabs? Okay, we'll have those too! Puzzles your thing? Sure! You like water? We might have some that you might be able to float to. We're even working on an Earthcache or two, and perhaps a Wherigo. I have heard that there will even be a night cache or two. On Friday, the Hike-n-Seek staff are planning to have a CITO and a Meet-n-Greet event, for those cachers that are in town early.

You'll be able to add to numbers in more than one way this weekend! We'll have so much for you to do, you'll want to come for the whole weekend - good thing there's a nice campgrounds and hotels nearby. The Hike-n-Seek staff are excited to have you join the IGO for a weekend of fun, and they're planning to have upwards of 150 new, permanent caches in place for the weekend, and some fun temporary challenges! Have a competitive streak? Then bring your best game! We'll have a caching competition for the die-hards and newbies alike. Come well rested and well equipped! The competition starts on Saturday morning and goes until Sunday. Can't stay that long? No problem - you'll still be in the running! We've got prizes, both for the competition and as door prizes. You can also opt not to compete, and just go caching at your leisure.

The event will officially begin at 8:00am Saturday, Sept 25th , with some socializing, GPSr loading (bring your cables and drivers!), and strategizing. Important instructions happen at 9:45 and the competition begins at 10:00. We'll have a pot-luck picnic. We'll fire up the grills for you around 5:30 - bring your favorite grill food and a dish to share - salad, side, or dessert. We'll eat about 6:00. Basic beverages will be available. Don't forget your chair for sitting around the fire (unless you plan to spend the night caching!) and your flashlights and headlamps to hunt the night caches.

There are still MANY details to iron out, and Repmul is heading up a great group of fun-loving volunteers to get it all ready. We advise putting a watch on this listing, or at least checking back often. More details, including camping reservation information, will be posted on the IGO website. There are distinct benefits to posting your "Will Attend" log and filling out the registration form to let us know you'll be coming (or are at least thinking of coming) - we want to let our sponsors know how many AWESOME cachers we're expecting!
