Geocache Description:


UPDATE 11/13/2011

Bay Area Park is still under a full burn ban. Thus, the whole hotdog component is not going to work out for us.

Thus we are encouraging everyone to bring some sort of snack or dessert to share. Chips, dips, brownie, cookies, milk bones, etc. I will be bringing a cooler of bottled waters, some milk bones, and some miscellaneous stuff.

Grab your family, dog, TBs/GCs, and come have some fun. ============================================================


DON'T MISS THE SECOND ANNUAL DOG-EAT-DOG EVENT!


Dog-Eat-Dog II:
No Hoopla - Just Dogs & Hot Dogs


It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, so bring yourself and your geo-dog to GZ between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. for a dog-gone good time. Come. Sit. Stay. And have some hot-dogs and some geo-fun at Bay Area Park with everyone!We’ll feed you and your pooch hot dogs fresh from the grill. We’ll have plenty of ketchup, mustard, relish, cheese slices, (see announcement at top of cache page} and ice-cold beer bottled water.

You are welcome (and encouraged!) to contribute to the festivities by bringing something good to share at the event. Humans like soda, tea, potato chips, salad, potato and/or macaroni salad, baked beans, veggie trays, chips & salsa, creamy jalapeno dip from Chuy's, dips, rolls, desserts, etc.
Canines like milk bones, rawhide chews, squeaky toys, and other doggie treats, and generally like or are not picky about any of the food items mentined above, either.


BRING SOME CHAIRS FOR HUMAN ATTENDEES
AS PICNIC TABLE SEATING WILL BE LIMITED!



The Dog Park
OK - althrough there are ball fields here, it's not a baseball stadium like the photo above. But we've got the hot dogs, and Bay Area Park has an awesome dog park! You’ll pass it on your left entering the park as you travel towards GZ for the event. You may want to mark this spot. But don’t worry – if you don’t, your dog will.

Bay Area Park's dog park is 5.3 acres with a separate small dog area, drinking water stations in each dog area, two doggy wash stations in the front, shade, and benches. Your dog(s) can come and play, get all dirty, and you can hose them off right there! Same goes for you!

Wait – you don’t have a geo-dog?
Just bring yourself, your kids, your family, and/or other caching friends (except cats---sorry) and come hang out! The park has playground equipment between the dog park and the event site. At least one tandem kayak will be available for local paddling as well (sure, bring your brave geodog). We'll see if we can get a few more rounded up, too.

So here’s the deal (rules):
The park is open 7am – 10pm. No alcohol is allowed in the park. Please don’t get us in trouble by bringing any. All pets must be on a leash, except when in the dog park. Oh, and scoop your poop. And your dog’s.

Did we mention no cats are allowed? Sorry!

We had a blast at last year's event! Check out the gallery of photos from last year's event page. Dog-Eat-Dog: A Butt-Sniffin' Geo-Dog Event! If you missed it, you missed a truly great time.

This year, though, there's no hoopla. We're keeping it lax. We're getting together, grilling hot dogs, and having fun playing with the geodogs.

We will head over to the dog park after grill-time and see if any of these 'highly trained' geodogs can sit-and-stay or have any other special or unique tricks. When we come back, we'll let people show off their own tricks. Nebulus703, we need you to kick this off again. No official contests this time. But maybe a few door prizes towards the end. So chill at GZ, and spend as much time in the dog park as you (and your geodog) desire -- and just have fun.

Schedule of Events: Wait -- there is no schedule of events! But we will start grilling hot dogs around 1:30 p.m. or so. (Not now -- due to burn ban -- see notice at top of cach page). Just depends. Keeping it flexible, 'cause we're not on a schedule. Anyone up for a hotdog eating contest (humans, not dogs)?

We will have a few event tags available for the first to arrive who did not get one last year.

The cool tag art was designed by VoodoochickencupcakebettydrapernicolepeteDwayneMichaelCarrie a/k/a Betty Draper (does that cover all bases?).


Bring your dogs, your side dishes, and join us for some fun!

Brought to you by the K-9 Krew: bbqbob2, Betty Draper, cachestacker,
FunSize03, ggmorton (Salt Shaker), and no muggle.


HOW TO LOG SO WE CAN PLAN: In your log, please let us know the number of humans attending and the number and name of your geodogs that are attending.

You could also share with the world the wonderful foodstuffs you are bringing to share. If your canine is trackable, be sure to drop him or her in the event, too! And don't forget your bugs and coins to trade.
