Geocache Description:



Let's celebrate 10 Years of Geocaching together!!!




Click here for the hi-res image.

This event will begin at 1:00 PM in Central Park - South Daytona, FL...how long it lasts is up to you.

The coordinates should get you to parking accessible off Magnolia Ave and I believe there is a bus stop on Big Tree Rd. I'll have a couple of tables set up near the parking area for the cake and snacks. If you have any friends who are interested in geocaching, but just haven't gotten started yet, bring them along...I'll hide a few temporary caches, of various sizes, around the park so they can learn how to play. And what would a party be without prizes? My budget is tight, but I can't host an event without giving away a few cool prizes...an unactivated 10 Year geocoin (there are a limited number of these available) and a ready-to-hide cache container for starters...there may be more if my budget allows. And, when the party is over the celebration can continue as long as you like by going caching, in groups or solo, how long you celebrate is entirely up to you.

More information on the 10 Year events can be found here.



To qualify for the special 10 Year icon (shown above) at least 10 people must attend the event and we must take a group photo.

Remember, after this celebration the plan is to go caching!! There are about 15 caches within a mile or two of this event, a few are even within walking distance, and plenty more in the surrounding areas.


Who's bringing what:
fegan: cupcakes and a camera (for the official group photo)
Itchyfeet2wander: some drinks and ice
kenttella: cups and a bag of chips
Hide&SeekX3: plates and napkins
Tea4Two: Mr. Tea's Famous Cherries Jubilee
HitmanFolland: plates and napkins and maybe some finger sandwiches
Dream1450: chips and dip
karenb52: cracker snacks
kevlinf: drinks and ice

LATEST INFO (05/01/2010)
The response for this event has been more than I imagined! There's good and bad that goes with that...the good is we should have plenty to eat and have no issues meeting the '10 attendee' requirement for the special icon, the bad is parking is limited at Central Park. So, I've added a few additional parking coordinates to the cache page...a couple of these are nearby parks (both have a cache in them, so you may have a reason to visit them to score an extra smile or two) and the other two are businesses which are closed on Sunday and I'm pretty sure for the short time we'll be here shouldn't be an issue (park at your own risk). Please use the main parking area for drop off and pickup, or for those with disabilities who can't walk a tenth or two to get to the event.

You can download a GPX file (in ZIP format) of the temporary caches here.

There are only two benches and one picnic table in the park, so...

If you want to sit down, bring a chair.



I'll have a few of my chairs with me, but I won't have enough for everyone.
