We have reserved Pavilion #1 at Pelahatchie Shore Park for the
day. Lunch will be pot luck. Please post on your "Will Attend" log
what you plan to bring. Bring your family, someone else's family,
your favorite dish and beverage, and be ready to have a good time
swapping caching stories, TB's, geocoins, and good cheer! There are
a bunch of good caches in the immediate area, so the pavilion will
serve as a great central headquarters for those wanting to go out
on small cache runs and return to the event for re-fueling and
fellowship. If anyone out there has a boat with a motor and is
able, there are several hydro or island caches nearby that can only
be reached by boat (or swimming if you are BassAngler). The
pavilion is equipped with a fireplace, and we plan to keep a yule
log burning, so bring some marshmallows for roasting or be ready to
make s’mores for the kiddies (small and big).
********** PLEASE NOTE **********
Activities include lunch, geocaching, swapping TB’s and
geocoins, and lots of fellowship. Door prizes will be awarded. MSGA
shirts, caps, and patches will be available for purchase. Several
geocoin collections will be on display for your perusal and icon
harvesting. This is a great opportunity for major milestone awards
to be presented, so if you have reached a milestone or are very
close, or plan to award one to someone else, please let us
know.
Finally, we plan to have a couple of fun cache runs, one during
the day, and one at night. The day run will feature some of the
excellent Eskimo caches in the nearby woods that have not received
much attention but can require some effort to get to. The night run
is still in the air at this time. If you have any ideas/wants for
either, please let us know.
Everyone is welcome to attend, and we look forward to a big
crowd and a great event. If you are a beginning geocacher, this is
a great way to make new friends and hone your skills by caching
with other experienced geocachers. If you are a salty veteran, you
know that this is a great way to renew friendships, relax and swap
TB's, caching stories and adventures. For everyone it is a chance
to add some more icons to your personal profile, make new friends,
and have a great day geocaching.
More to come later, so keep checking back for the latest
info.
