Four years ago on this same weekend, a group of cachers
consisting of El Dorado Bob, Calkids, MarshallOD, B.O.S.N.,
size14shoe, and Scoobert met at Loon Lake for a celebration and
overnight stay. The
celebration was fun, but the campfire was the
highlight of the trip. So this will be the 5th annual but 4th
official "What Happens at Loon Stays at Loon" Event. Of course you
won't have to hike 25.5 km (15.8 miles) and gain 1680 ft of
elevation to attend the event, unless you want to of course. But
then you'll have to wear B.O.S.N.'s pink boots. 
There were some mind-boggling ideas that surfaced during that
campfire, some of them which can probably be attributed to
B.O.S.N.'s
Vanilla Vodka. Many of those mind boggling ideas became
reality, including the
Loon Lake Snowshoe Event. But most of the others we can't share
because What Happens at Loon Stays at Loon! Hence we
can't share the many tasty and creative creations that appeared
last year (yes, Vanilla Vodka was still involved 
)
In any event, we thought we'd try for a repeat campfire this
year with a larger collection of cachers to see what other crazy
ideas we could brew up. This will obviously be a camp out event, so
bring whatever you need to be self sufficient for camping for the
night. The campground should have plenty of room this time of the
year. There are also plenty of additional camping spots outside the
designated campground if you wish and plenty of places for
RV's/campers (fee or free, depending if you need hookups). It will
probably be chilly at an elevation of 6400 ft, so bring plenty of
warm clothes. The last few years we've had snow, LOTS of rain, LOTS
of snow, sunshine and a very unpredicted heavy rain. Maybe this
year we'll get a tornado or something new in the mix. We'll try to
keep you updated on the weather, campground information and fire
restriction status as the date approaches.
The coordinates will be posted at the approximate location of last
year's campsites. We will post this years site numbers at the
Chalet - don't worry, you'll find us! After all, you are
geocachers!
Knowing
B.O.S.N., if her and MarshallOD happen to make a bonus return
trip from Utah (we'd love to see them 
), there will be plenty of fun and
creative activities. Possibly even some techy stuff and/or map and
compass talk as well. Just depends on how things unfold, it will be
very low key with no real agenda other than to have fun.
Sunday morning there will surely be groups kayaking and canoeing
as well as various hikes around the magnificent shorelines of Loon
Lake (and beyond!). So bring your watercraft and/or hiking
boots!
If you come out for this one, you are all but guaranteed to have
fun and laughs. Hope to see you there!
