Come on out to Casa Grande’s lovely North
Mountain Park for a Geocaching Picnic, RAIN OR SHINE!
Nothing fancy…purely a picnic meet &
greet. No games, no prizes, just a chance to enjoy the company of
other cachers. Access is only from the South on Cox Road; McCartney
exit 190 from I-10.
We have several new cachers in and around Casa
Grande, and it just seemed like it's been a long time since we've
assembled in between the Metroplexes, so come on out and HAVE SOME
FUN!
The Event Log will be hidden, and you MUST find
it and sign to log attendance at the event. Travel Bug swapping is
welcome and encouraged. There are several caches within this park,
so if you haven’t been here before, you will find plenty of
caching to do if you wish. Excellent hiking on flat terrain also
abounds.
We have "Ramada C" reserved from 10:30AM to 3:00
PM. Bathroom facilities are pit type. You are completely on your
own for food and drinks. Bring PLENTY OF WATER, since there is none
anywhere near here.
The pavilion has 12 large concrete tables, no
electric, 1 large charcoal grille, 1 fire pit, and pit toilets that
are not too awful. (see photo)
IMPORTANT INFO: The only restriction on beverages
is NO GLASS CONTAINERS. No ATVs allowed in park. No off-road
driving. No camping. Fires in designated areas only. Bring your own
wood...NO FIREWOOD SCAVENGING ALLOWED. Bring charcoal & lighter
if you'd like to use the grille. You'll probably want aluminum foil
as well. You may want to bring toilet paper and hand cleaning
supplies also. Lawn chairs are probably a good idea
too.
Watch for more updates.....
Update 4/7 and 8 - Well, I finally managed to get the picture
added, but blew away my original "Update". If I remember what I
said (and that's hard at times), it was simply that the day I have
picked for this event promises to be perhaps a record cold day for
this time of year with wind and rain. Oh BOY! Just the way us
cachers like it, right? Dress warm and bring your ponchos, since
this event goes on "rain or shine". If the wind stays down, we
should be OK under the pavillion roof. If the weather is too nasty,
the only change might be that the log book will be under roof
rather than having to be searched for. Lastly, rumor has it that
there may be 3 new caches posted by Saturday in this park. No
promises, but we'll see. No matter what....we're gonna have FUN!
