Happy Birthday Groundspeak! On May 1st
and 2nd, Groundspeak will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of
Geocaching! Who would have thought back when President Clinton
turned off "selective availability" that a game that is so much fun
for people of all ages would be born? If you do not know the
history of geocaching, or if you just want a refresher, you can
read about it here.
Everyone is welcome to join in this
celebration of 10 years of Geocaching, so whether you are a new
player, a seasoned veteran, or somewhere in between, come out and
share some stories, and discuss your favorite caches. As you can
tell by the description, this is a birthday party, so be prepared
to be festive!
The event will take place on Saturday, May
1st, at the Greene Township Building from 9:00AM till Noon. The
facility is located on Tate Road just south of I-90, and is easily
accessible from Lake Pleasant Road or PA State Route 8. There is
plenty of room for parking. The posted coordinates are for the park
entrance-way.
The site also has a playground for the
kids, with lots of room to roam about.
Doughnuts, coffee, and juice will be
served. For additional eats, please bring something to share. There
is a full kitchen for our use and restrooms are available inside
the facility.
The event is free, but we will be taking
donations to offset the cost of the facilities.
Temporary and/or regular caches will be
available for attendees to find and log, and we hope to have a few
door prizes to give away as well. And don't forget to bring travel
bugs/coins/etc. to be discovered or swapped. Please be sure to sign
the log book.
Update on 4/27: We have set 14 new
permanent caches in the nearby gamelands and surrounding area which
will be available to attendees on 5/1. There are also 3 more
permanent caches near the event site, for a grand total of 17 new
permanent caches for the event. There will also be one special
temporary cache for kids at the event site as
well.
Update on 5/1: Special Birthday Wishes to
Dudeacus who celebrated his birthday with us at the
event!
Update on 4/30: There is apparently some
sort of trash recycle event going on at the township building on
the same day as our event. Not sure what that is going to mean in
terms of parking, etc. We will do the best we
can.
Update on 4/22: We will have at least 6
door prizes which will include:
*One Micro Container & Geocache
Sticker.
*Another Micro Container & Geocache
Sticker.
*An Unactivated
Trackable Event Geocoin.
*Unactivated Travel Bug Tag & a
Pen
*Another Unactivated
