Geocache Description:


The above coords can be used for parking but are NOT the location of the cache. To determine the cache location you must first mull over the meandering minds of the hive members.

During one of our weekly Sunday Bee Hive breakfasts recently the buzz around the tables was droning along when the topic of our next Osage event came up. Everyone was full of ideas and dates that might work.

**************************************
KBee, having just returned to his hive took immediate control and stated that Oct. 2 was his only free day this year. (divide by 2)

Kven said he thought that was pretty funny. Mostly because he gets a kick out of just about anything a F.O.G. member says. He was all for Oct. 29. (-4)

JanG thought May 21 would be a better choice and immediately made a motion to discuss the breakfast starting time (1st digit)

The Mlns, who thought, good grief, that is almost a year away spoke up and recommended July 17 as the perfect time for Osage with maybe a little rafting thrown in. MS6 thought that was a great idea, expecially the rafting!

Tazy, who we always are wondering just what it is he is really up to, said he could work around his busy schedule up north and ride on over on Jan. 27. (Not Harley, +46)

John was quick to note "As you all know, butterflys don't use schedules" and cavalierly threw Apr. 17 in as his choice. (First digit)

Howy, as a fledgling F.O.G. member and still working for the man thought BFG was crazy too far in the future and was resolute about his days off and offered up Oct. 30 for our consideration. (-98, two digits)

JDog, once again sleeping in, sent in a proxy vote for Aug. 20 delivered by an anonomous messenger pigeon. (-1)

PM52, deciding it was time to get serious about it, invited everyone over to the cave for a little barley on July 23 to continue the discussion.

Nanz, having come a great distance said that with all of Sam's soccer games and track meets she would have to offer a choice of Feb. 1, even though she said she liked the Malone's choice too.

Gadg, being the most experienced cacher in the room warned us all about being too nonchalant in our choices and said June 27 would be about the only free time she could muster up in her busy schedule, but if that doesn't work, just give her a call at the cottage.

S257 was the last to speak up, much like the postings of his logs. He chose Aug. 9 as his choice and once the laughter subsided to a few nervous giggles it was obvious that everyone was starting to picture in their minds the size of the snow berms they could be seeing across their driveways next winter.

******************************
So, we all agreed to think about these dates, but now that everyone had finished their breakfast it was time to all jump in our cachmobiles and go after the new cache that just popped up. Boy it sure is fun caching with the hive.


Collecting this cache will be an exercise in stealth. Take a few steps away and glance back to ensure you have replaced it well out of eyeballable range for the occasional muggle. Hope you enjoy the challenge and thanks for stopping by.
