This cache has been archived.

GameForTravel: What a lot of fun! It was a blast greeting old familiar faces - and putting faces with so many names that I've seen around the area.

Let's do it again on 11-11-11.

The lead article in the [color=coral]Groundspeak Weekly Newsletter[/color] dated August 26, 2010 reads:

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.”

In support of that mission, come to this gathering then log your adventure on www.geocaching.com. An event posted on that site is considered a type of cache; therefore, attending one counts as "finding a cache". If that’s all you do that day then you have been caching and are qualified to log it in and be counted by Groundspeak.

This event is being co-sponsored by the North Alabama Geocachers (NAGs) group on meetup.com. You can read about them at:

The NAGs GO GEOCACHING ON 10-10-10

They will also be sponsoring cache runs before and after the event! The lists of proposed hunts for both runs have been posted on the Files page for the meetup group:

Lists for the BEFORE and AFTER cache runs

The BEFORE event will start at 3:00, near Books-A-Million and the AFTER event will start about 6:30 at Big Ed's.

It is recommended that you call Big Ed's about 1/2 hour before if you'd like to not wait long for your order. Their phone number at Big Ed's is (256) 489-3374. Their menu is here.
