Wow, what a turnout!! Thanks to each one of you for making this
10-10-10 Event an awesome time today!!
Here's what Groundspeak had to say.
"Plan to Go Geocaching on 10-10-10 We want to see
how many geocachers can go geocaching on a single day! We've chosen
10-10-10, since the date represents 10 years of geocaching and 10
years of Groundspeak in 2010. Bring your friends, bring your
family, bring your worst enemy (if that's what it takes) and let's
see if we can beat the previous record of 56,654 accounts logging
on April 18, 2010. Even one log counts since we are counting
how many accounts log a cache rather than the number of caches
logged." I am going to help you help Groundspeak by
offering you a 1/1 event cache that will even offer drive-thru
convenience! Just drive to the event
location, pull into the parking area next to the covered pavilion
and we'll even bring the event log to you to sign. NOTICE:
Absolutely NO curb side service for a hot dog! You have to get out
of the car for that!
Just be in line at 10:10AM
OK, most of us have been to an event before. Many of us even met
at this exact same location to celebrate Groundspeak's
10 Year Anniversary! (Hey, there's another Ten!)
At this event there will be some special door prizes and there
will be a free HOT DOG COOKOUT too.
A special commemorative event photograph will be made at exactly
10:10:10 a.m.. on 10/10/10. Everyone that is in the photo will
receive a small collectible gift as a "token" of their
attendance.
There will be a drawing for 10 sets of different collectible
geo-tokens selected from my lifetime collection. Some may be my
design, some will be from others. Some might even be from foreign
countries like Michigan and Kentucky.
If you would like to bring something to go with the hot dogs
(but certainly not required), please post what you are
bringing in your "Will Attend" note. I will update this page with
what the wonderful geocachers of this area will be bringing.

Want to bring something to share at the event? Let
everyone know what you are bringing when you post a note that you
will attend, and I will update the information here. Need an idea?
We can always use catsup, mustard, pickles, onions, pork and beans,
potato salad, potato chips, cookies, sodas, tea, and ice.
Everyone has been so gracious and signed
up to bring so much, I am sure we will be well stocked to feed any
and all geocachers and their friends and guests. If you are
debating on whether or not to come, and worried that you might not
be able to bring something,PLEASE JUST COME TO THE EVENT.
The greatest thing you can bring is your
company, your stories, and especially your
smiles.

Activities and Entertainment
Welcome to
Geocaching Olympics! What is an event
without door prizes? And for those who have been to one of my
events before, you know we have to have some door prizes. So, how
about some fun events that will have some fun door prizes including
"Trailmarkers". What's a trailmarker? Well, it's a small shiny
metal disc with a hole in it, and it is colorful and features a
geocaching design. We just can't use the "real name" for them, so I
am going to call them TrailMarkers.
Still don't know what they are? Send me a private message
and I'll be happy to explain.
OK, here are some of
the events that we'll be holding:
************************************
| /*/* GEOCACHING OLYMPICS *\*\ |
| Sausage Ball Testing Klunk will rate how well you brag
on his sausage balls! |
| Ammo Can Toss Not just for distance, but accuracy counts
too. |
| Micro Cache Log Rolling Due to safety concerns for
potential paper cuts, this activity may be cancelled |
| Half-time entertainment |
| Hot Dog Decorating Note: You must eat the entire hot dog
as decorated. |
| Styrofoam Frisbee Toss- No safety concerns with this
one!! Save your lunch plate, dirty styrofoarm plates are allowed
BUT NO LITTERING!! |
| Muggle Snuggle- Having a partner may be an advantage,
but not a requirement |
Looking forward to seeing everyone
there!!!
