Geocache Description:

It's time once again for the annual help poor ole Georabbit event.

April 30, 2011 Noon til 5:00pm at
Orlando Wetlands Park.

Everyone had so much fun the last couple years, we just had to do it again. So here we go folks. There will be food, games, trading, lots of schmoozing and fun.

So come on out and meet up with old friends and make new ones, share your experiences, swap & share Travel Bugs, Trinkets with a hole (rhymes with mathflags) , Geocoins, and have a good time. Speaking of Trinkets with a hole, this year SCGA will be offering a special Event Trinket with a hole for this event, quantity is limited so be sure to get yours ordered, they will be available at the event.

Well here's the deal, Peter Georabbit, has asked us for our help once again and asked us to give everyone a message. He's managed to drop a bunch of his Easter Eggs. So he needs our help to find them.

Stupid Rabbit

Here's his story this time...
" I was hopping around this vast area called Orlando Wetlands with my basket of my special Geoeggs, looking for a place narrow enough to cross so I don't get my little paws wet. I was already nervous being in the woods, let alone being just generally clumsy. But I was especially nervous here because of the sightings of the great skunk ape recently. I was even shown this recent photo of when he was spotted here.

So can you really blame me? I can remember when as a leveret (that's a child bunny) I heard stories of a great swamp monster that would wander the woods and swamps of Florida (no not the Clan Riffster, I mean a real monster), now I even had proof. They claim he eats bunnies! That he captures young bunnies to make stew from them. That's enough to scare the eggs out of anybunny. So you can understand why I was so nervous right? All the bunnies I know are scared, but somebunny has to do it.

While I was concentrating on crossing the river, I heard a loud snort behind me. I panicked suddenly destroying my self-control and impelling myself franticly hopping away as fast as I could fearing for my life. I ended up in Riverside Park, but by then my basket was completely empty. I remember this place, it's where I lost my eggs last year. I must've dropped the eggs while trying to escape the ape monster. When I calmed down a bit, I realized it probably was not the Swamp ape, but most likely just a hog. I tried gathering up the eggs, but they were nowhere in sight. I'm betting they all fell out in the Orlando Wetlands Park. I really need some good trackers, like what I had last year to help me find them once again. You can keep the contents I just need the shells back for next year.

Thank you all in advance,
I just know you will come through for me,
Peter Georabbit"

So now it is up to us once again to help poor ole Peter Georabbit find his eggs. Hopefully there will be plenty of young Geocachers that will be able to enjoy the hunt and reap the rewards. After all, that is who the eggs were intended for in the first place.

We will gather at the large pavilion in the Orlando Wetlands Park at the above cache page coordinates on Saturday, April 30th 2011 at noon.
Be sure to bring a dish to share with all the hungry hunters. In fact if you would Post what you plan to bring we can all be sure of a good variety of dishes. Hot dogs and burgers with the fixings will be provided, including plates and something to stab it with. Don't forget to bring your favorite beverage to drink as well (no alcohol please, this is a family fun oriented event). Sorry the Rabbit didn't provide any drinks (Rabbits only drink water). To our out of Sate guest that have decided at the last minute to join us, contact us with any concerns and we'll try to address them so you can join in on the fun.

Special Thanks to this year's Event Committee: Flatouts, The Jailbirds, Clan Riffster, Dale & Barb, The Lanes, Imtomcat & Vcat (wifey), Kindbus and additional support from Blue Man and Cyclspin1!

Woo whoo Congratulations To rains2girl on reaching your 1000th at the Event!
